Lemme just.. * gets massive list out * I gotta say, I think the ones that hurt me the most are to do with my family/friends, or just anxiety, depression. etc, but the most frequent ones are to do with memories of my past self, losing even the tiniest things or, hear me out, food. It's weird. I'm 99 percent sure that this is all to do with underlying neurodivergence or mental health illnesses I may struggle with.
I definitely fit #1. While I am doing something -- anything -- I am pretty stable. As soon as I hit an idle moment, the intrusive thoughts come back to remind me: "Hey. You're alone and you're always going to be and nothing you can do will ever change it." This sends me straight to miserable. I wonder if the neighbors have noticed me with a really sad face every time I leave the apartment. To deal with this, of course, I do my best to stay busy, or at least distracted. Which is all well and good until I try to sleep. Then I can't shut those intrusive thoughts off. Sleep is hard to come by sometimes.
@@Psych2go Good question! I hope this helps someone. 🙂 Breathing exercises are the first thing I try. Breathe in through the nose for a count of two, hold for two, exhale out the mouth for four, repeat. If that doesn't work, I usually put my noise-cancelling headphones on and listen to some white noise like falling rain, or calming music like the Solfeggio frequency stuff. If I still can't fall asleep ... it's ASMR time. (Have to be careful about your ASMR, though... sometimes it will keep you awake.) ASMR Heartbeats usually knock me right out. I wonder why *that* sound, specifically. There's probably science behind that!
I hate being like this. And I hate that nobody outside its sphere of direct influence knows to acknowledge it for how debilitating it can be. Just last week I started getting really upset at work over my coworkers’ poor organization, and it got to the point that I made myself throw up right before lunch due to stress and even belittled one of my coworkers before crying and saying I apologized and needed to go home for the day. And the whole time I felt embarrassed that I couldn’t control my emotions and that stepping back and reapproaching the situation only made me more upset.
I’ve been watching many of these videos for a while now, and I’ve found it’s actually help me understand a lot of things about myself and others! There’s a lot of different things I’ve caught onto in these videos that just make so much more sense now that I hear it coming from someone else. Thank you for making these videos about how people express their emotions and how people can regulate on a daily ❤.
This video reminded me SO much of myself. Its interesting that acting up and running full speed in different directions at once is "emotional instability" and its not the word "Manic" as I hear from a few people more than I want to. Very Interesting!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so happy to hear that these videos have been helpful for you. We want to know, which videos/topics were the most helpful?
Yes, this is me. All of it. I'm on the spectrum and have been dealing with the likes of anxiety disorder, BPD, clinical depression, and PTSD since childhood. It's been over a decade since I have last seen a therapist; I have my first appointment with a new psychologist tomorrow.

I’m definitely emotionally unstable. I’ve been through a lot. Was driven out of my parents’ house late last year because I was deemed a houseguest, but the driving thing was that my dad unknowingly allowed my mom to continue her abuse of me by saying her house, her rules. I “woke up” so to speak when I was about 9 or 10 when I was told the tooth fairy, Santa, etc weren’t real. I wasn’t pissed about that. I was pissed at the fact that I was always taught not to lie yet those are lies. I’m going to be 28 in June. My former coworkers, most were older than me, were pointing out how a lot was not right and normal. I’m thankful for my current partner and fiancé. He’s trying to help me through all of the trauma and damage done. I’m trying to learn to regulate my emotions as I never really learned how to properly, especially my anger. Basically, equate me to a fire-breathing dragon. I “go blind” so to speak and lash out at everyone. I’m learning not to. Doesn’t help that I suffer depression and anxiety. Not looking for pity, I’m just sharing part of my story. I’m grateful that i found a group of people to help me out and a partner who is so loving and understanding that’s trying to help me out while I heal. I want to one day be able to actually talk to my doctor about my depression and anxiety freely, rather than feel i have to hide it just because it was not acknowledged by my family. This is why I fell in love with this channel. You guys have helped me gauge myself and offering suggestions for change. I never feel attacked, so thank you for your hard work and dedication
this video was literally the weirdest timing ever, i was trying to explain to a friend of mine of my feelings and whats it been feeling like for me and this video shows up the day after or yesterday i had my breakdown as my friend told me since i dont even have barley any memories of it- my apologies for the random confusion or personal side of things in this comment, but i just wanted to say i appreciate you guys that work on these videos it helps me and many others alot who jus cant explain how they feel or how they go about doing things without making the videos you guys make from the bottom of my heart thank you
Not at all! We appreciate people who leave personal comments. We want to know, were you able to help your friend understand your feelings better with this video?
@@Psych2go I haven’t sent them this video quite yet ” i get distracted very easily- but im happy you reminded me :3 so ill sent it to em now! and thank you for being understanding as well :3!
I can relate to unexpected reactions. There were times where I have a rest day and there was an assignment that’s due on the same day as posted. Or there were times where I thought I brought something with me and I checked my pockets, then there was nothing there. It’s like panicking mode.
March was quite a good month for me, but now April is like a complete opposite of it. I don't know is it just me but when a month changes, a switch turns and my life makes a 180. Just today I got immensily emotionally unstable, mainly because I haven't got to pursue my emotions much recently which isn't healthy.
Thank you for sharing your changes with us. We want to know, what do you think are some shifts that occurred between March to April? Does this happen often for you?
@@Psych2go For pretty much everytime a month changes, yes. Say, I spend a lot of time with friends in like June and have great time that month, but once July comes, I won't see my friends for a while, I have multiple bad days in a row and just can't seem to enjoy life. Of course I'm trying to work on it and just try to accept my circle of life. This is not true everytime but it really FEELS like it, you know? I go to the gym not only for body building, but releasing my anger as well. See, I like to use my anger as a fuel for strength and it feels good, no need to wait for the day I lose it and hurt someone when I can just release that anger at the gym and benefit from it at the same time.
I used to think I was emotionally secure because I never showed the emotions but now I see I was just keeping it bottled up. I would not suggest this method
Here's the thing, I made mistakes when I was upset before psychiatric care, afterwards it no longer was a choice to not be what I confused as being "open" when it was just unrestrained emotions being unfiltered and communicated based upon my best assessment, I didn't grow up with being able to express sadness, anger and other emotions but having to tolerate them being around me at a young age, from seven and that continued into my adult years as I was exhausted without feeling like I had any reason to be until I identified that the disregard for me as a person how I operated, along with how constantly reminded of my parents someday dying, to the "I'm the worst mother ever" when I brought up something that might have contributed to me being as messed up as I am when all I was trying to do was nail down what was wrong with me, combined with the fact everyone would leave or put me down for immaturity I didn't ask for as I wasn't shown properly how to be an adult. I have many issues and if I could I would have been born without the capacity for negative emotions, to the degree of which I was capable of unless they operated within a confined box for empathy and love for others, maybe even for myself. My parents made me exhausted I thought it was normal, I know somehow I have to fix the wounds but I am not sure if I can given how far I have gone to even have wagered core parts of me to deities/devils so I could manipulate myself, something which isn't normal or how it works. I've struggled to understand patience, gentleness and kindness with myself when I had to expect being aggressively yelled at with a father red in the face for any failure or admitted wrong, sometimes even for wrong I didn't admit because of my fear. I learned to accept people for being how they are to an extent, cutting them off cleanly if possible or grieving over the loss substantially if I didn't have other people to help me out, I learned that some people never reflect and change their ways, even when you start to detach from them and in fact respond to your distancing of yourself from them as them needing to bite down harder on their "control" over you. If you're not quiet they'll leverage parental monitoring tools to observe what you do, if you open up to them and trust them, they'll lie to you and shame you with it to keep you under their control, you say no or object they'll push you to do what they want anyway, it doesn't matter what you want if they think something else is better for you. Maybe if souls exist I won't get such a bad roll for a start with what you could call inconsistent at best to insensitive/abusive at best. I'm not sure if I can ever change at this point and I feel so far away from where I wanted to be and have by this point I am seriously considering throwing in the towel and living in the woods with animals, able to be violent and then pass away from whatever in peace surrounded by nature that I can understand
@@Psych2go I've been trying to help a friend all all of these signs relates to them, Im now actively searching for ways to lessen and prevent it, because I'd always want the best for them♥️
It can be hard to regulate my emotions but I used to not be able to at all I have come a long way and most of it was definitely Psych2go’s videos helping me. Thank you Psych
That sounds wonderful! We're so happy that our video was helpful for you. How are you doing now? What are somethings that you are doing to help regulate your emotions?
@@Psych2goI’m doing great now and I just listen to some relaxing music whenever I can, I draw while listening to music, and I try to get a good nights sleep to help
Getting emotional stability by self is not an easy process.Though hard but it's important to pray for your partner because sometimes they fight battles they'll never speak to you about. Make sure they are covered. Pray everyday for their win.
I've started to notice mood swings in my life once I graduated high school. I guess the sudden loneliness I face at my university has affected my positive personality at times.
@@Psych2go I've gotten in touch with a therapist at my university last week, it has helped just a tad bit. I took a survey at the beginning of the school year. It was regarding how students feel about the college they chose, the resources they find useful, and even asks personal questions about yourself. It's a requirement that every student needs to complete. Once I completed the survey, results had come out as likely to develop depression.
I definitely have emotional instability What happens a lot is I’m running late even by just 15 minutes I panic sometimes on the verge of a panic attack I go form happy to sad really quickly a lot it’s not good
My life has been a tense rollercoaster. I was academically good when i was a child but was a chronic procrastinator. Just recently i realized that i was suffering from ADHD. My parents were loving but were kind of pushy (like all parents in a developing country). My Dad is especially very pushy and he used to boast that i was a genius when i was very young to everyone he met which placed enormous burden on me. I was mostly embarrassed about it but some of his vanity began to sink into me and i subconsciously began to believe that i was special and above others. My dad has emotional stability issues and is an alcoholic. He wanted to make it big in life but failed. So he chose to push his unrealistic dreams of making it big on me. I loved reading and am curious about everything but couldn't get my act together and find focus. As a chronic procrastinator i was mediocre academically upon graduation. But somehow landed on a job that i was interested in . Worked for three years, got burnt out since there wasnt anything new to learn, abandoned my job and went for higher studies taking a loan. It was like everything i dreamed would be. Good professors, good labs except there wasnt any time. I had placed too much expectations on myself when i took my higer studies. Wanted to maintain a good grade, pursue my field of interest and get a good research position in industry. But was ill prepared for it. I have a good intuition for science and engineering but lacked the mathematical foundation. Was not a problem in my UG or job but in a grad school, it was evident immediately. Tried to learn as fast as possible but learning something fast was not my strong point. I learn at my own pace and it got me into a lot of trouble. In addition the huge pressure of the education loan took toll on my mental health and i completely broke down. Fully lost my ability to learn. Would spend hours from morning till night in libraries and not finish a single page. Failed every single subject was kicked out and wasted two years after that to depressionand poor physical health. Currently living in my parents house with my father paying the monthly dues and it is causing a rift between us. But i am regaining my physical health, playing badminton, able to study and i am optimistic inspite of everything. Occasionally i am pulled back into depression and despair but i can read the signs and come out of it faster. Planning to complete my grad school and pursue research. Sorry for the long post. This is the first time i have written about my past.
I just got news my papa (grandpa) had a stroke and now getting physical therapy so it's probably not that bad also my older sister probably has 5 or less years to live (she's 31 if I remember correctly) and hearing a relaxing man's voice just camed me down a little bit so thank you
We all need a therapy and self-care.💙💙💙 We need to make a persistent effort to pay attention to our emotions, understand how they relate to our thinking, assumptions, and beliefs, and learn to acknowledge them rather than suppress them. Recovery it’s a journey of self-awareness and having a better relationship with yourself and others.
Great points. Thank you for your insight. In your experience, what are some practical ways that we can apply self-care into our lives? Do you have any personal favorite tips?
@@Psych2go I like reading my favorite books and nature observations. The most challanging is learning how to say 'NO' to others; many of us feel obligated to say yes when someone asks for our time or energy. However, if we're already stressed or overworked, saying yes to loved ones or coworkers can lead to burnout, anxiety, and irritability. It may take a little practice, but once we learn how to politely say no, we'll start to feel more self-confident, and we'll have more time for your self-care.
This makes me sad because I relate to it a ton and my friends joke about mental illness or mental disabilitys and I have the main ones they make fun of and they don’t know how hard it is to have them
I don’t know if I’m strong to handle love 😢. I’m 28 and still feel a lot of insecurities with a relationship and other things that makes a relationship unhealthy
@@Psych2go Yes please ma’am. I was really new to love life at 18 and to really say my first one had me go through a lot and at the time she was older than me. So I had suffered a lot throughout the entire relationship, heartbroken 💔 and misspoken 😔😢. Up till now I get the most worst confusing thoughts about whether my relationship life is going to okay. I’m really sad 😔
I was walking by the ocean with my mom. We were having a good time. Then, all of a sudden, the mood changed because of a question I asked her. It was about work. I shouldn’t have brought up the topic. Next time, I will be careful not to! But yeah, just from that one disagreement, all the other things came out too, and on the car ride back home I was thinking it’s better to be dead than suffer like this and I was thinking how I hate my life. Then I did some CBT on myself and thought I shall create a life that I love (although I don’t know how, I don’t even know what that life looks like but I can take my time to think about it), and I thought I am suffering now but I have moments of joy, many of them in my life. I think my mom is also emotionally unstable, as little things can throw her off, like if I don’t respond to her telling me she made breakfast, she will almost scream at me! I have moments when I feel like screaming too!
Myself is emotional unstable. Last week, i upset my friend that I feel mad about myself that "why did I did it?"or"I đin't mean to hurt my friend".Then it spiral out of control and i punched a window and it make my hand bleed. After I punch it, bloods go everywhere with glass shard and I stomping up and down Mad why I did it. Then i quickly calm down and when I told this to my teacher and my parents right after it happed i cried and it happened at school. It almost ended my life, I could have died a week ago of lost too many bird or have my hand paralized for life. It affect me this bad. I feel better now. For those who are still reading, thank you for taking your time.
@@Psych2go Yeah, I learnt that I am emotionally stable, altough I have mood swings often they don't seem to impact other people except for myself, as I don't cry when I get a sad (yk what I mean) mood swing and I keep it to myself
I'm very unpredictable, unexpected reactions, sometimes I can't control my anger ,I'm very impulsive ,I'm hipervigilent , an emotional rollercoaster! Sometimes I manage to temper myself, when I'm at work for example,, sometimes my impulsivity comes out and I can't control ! All this because my depression and anxiety witch I'm diagnosed,I think! It's like always I fight insede me , witch keeps exhausting me so much, suck the life out of me ! I live with this every single day ! Not to mention some childhood drama and a few years ago ! I thought I got rid o PTSD ,but ...I don't! I want so much to control my feelings,not to be so emotional, I want this desperately!
For some reason I think I have like every single diagnosis that are negative but not like psychopathy or dark empath but even watching this can't improve me managing my sanity
I only think I need to work on impulsivity. I’m not as impulsive as I once was. But I know I can do better. I have Septo Optic Dysplasia and CPTSD, and I think my brain might be thinking rationally in certain situations, but my mouth says way different than what my brain is thinking. I think I just need to try to rephrase certain things.
when i was younger my parents used to shout a lot at each other which led to a divorce and now when i’m a little older i find that anything remotely loud like a door slamming or someone shouting scares me so much but i tend to just bottle it up even if it’s killing me which it usually is, i was wondering if anyone would know if that’s some sort of ptsd or something else
Though it would take a medical professional to diagnose you specifically with PTSD, it sounds like there are some things that trigger your emotions in an unwanted manner. Have you had a chance to speak with a health care professional regarding this?
Thank you for giving me your advices, l love all your videos they are amazing to me, right now l realize that I'm asexual because l don't know what is love anymore l trust lots of people and even people who were close to me broke my heart! So l don't know who to trust anymore!
I am ALL of these and on top of emotional instability, I have bipolar disorder, acute anxiety disorder, CPTSD, and ADHD. I am currently in therapy and working hard on my mental health. This made me a very loneli person.
I suffer from emotional instability along with bad depression and i get times where im completely on top of the world and then within a matter of hours I feel incredibly depressed and feel like the world is going to end
Its so hard to be like this and married. Im exhausted and have an emotional hangover. From trauma of my past and feel my character is constantly attacked.
Before I learned I had and got treatment for complex PTSD this video would have made me defensive, ashamed, angry, or depressed. And I don't mean sad when I say depressed. I really mean despair.
I have been in the midst of very unstable and unhealthy behaviors from emotionally destitute and vacant individuals. It's difficult and "tricky", with refrain on instability on my behalf, but people around me seem pernicious...still. if I'm allowed to permit such light on ill intent, it's tiring and rather exhausting and costly to be used and "abused" per say...cluster b...arg...dark triad/tetrad...arg. at least there are varied topics and discussion points and AMAZING animation here on Psych2Go UA-cam channel! Thanks everyone for helping and being a source and sound stability in personal development and learning and growth
Whatever has occurred in your life absorbed those minutes, those days. They need not claim dominion over these minutes, these hours, these days. You do have a sanctuary, but it is not one to the past. It is to the ‘you’ you’re becoming. The days will come and go, but each will be anchored with tiny steps. Each one is a testament to future possibilities. Face forward, not backward. These brand new moments belong to you.
That's definitely me as of late as I've been emotionally unstable and tired of asking for help to only get rejected and make a fool out of it via agencies and programs
Seeking help is difficult especially when we feel like people don't seem to help us or even make a fool out of us. How are you doing now? Do you have the right resources to help you regulate your emotions?
@@Psych2go unfortunately no I don't. Living alone without no support services is awful where I'm from and if they do "help" as they only do bare minimum and except me to survive via food stamps and unstable economy
I always have emotional breakdowns and panic attacks because of the trauma from my family and other things my dad would threaten me even for the smallest mistake and he would tell me things and he would send me out of the house and I wanted to run away and my Mom dosent care about what he does she tells me hes not being abusive hes just being intimidating when I try to tell her what hes doing to me
I've got half of those, I'm always crying on small stuff, and i struggle to figure why, i got some illogical reactions (like in summer break, i can feel fine, and then at one moment i just start feeling sad, or scared for no apparent reason), and i do have emotional rollercoasters, but that's basically it. I thought i might have bpd, but it doesn't seem like it, i do have clinic depression
I had a teacher who had sutch terrible moodswings that she wasn't able to teach us anything at all. She was allways furious or suspiciously happy. As a result, the whole class was afrait to be in the same room with her or at least angry because her moodswings caused them bad grades. I was allways hiding in the classroom because she was allways yelling at my frends and even insulting them... thank god those times are over...😓 Edit: sorry I'm german and my english isn't the best. 😅
I was all good and happy until i loved someone fuked up how being with destroyed my life my mental-physical health my relationship with god and family so if there is an advice i would like you to take is “be with someone healthy”and always priorities your self and trust your gut feelings
Your telling me when I am trying to find keys and I start panicking and start crying I am emotionally unstable? Because I do it a lot. If I stress over something for a long period of time or even short depending on what I’m stressing over I cry.
@@Psych2go I have performance anxiety for one, and some workplace trauma that has left me unable to handle situations above a certain stress level. It leaves me feeling incredibly emotional whereas I use to be able to tackle anything 😭
When it showed the movies with the reactions, oh my god, people can be dying left right and center in a sad scene, but one quote that can be simple can make me laugh so hard when my friends look at me like "WTF?!"
I've got problems 2 4 and 5 in this video I've definitely established that I'm a run before walking person I can literally describe my inability to calm down with a comic page of Nightwing and Flash (Wally West) where Wally shouts "I will not calm down!" in a panic and as for 5: I have had trouble keeping friends before
can you please do "the darkside to being aromantic" people think that being aro is all about not liking people.. nobody understands how truly lonely it feels sometimes :(
Tell us about your own emotional experiences
Nah
When losing someone in your life that's when the roller coasters happen for me

I can relate to unexpected reactions. There were times where I have a rest day and there was an assignment that’s due on the same day as posted. Or there were times where I thought I brought something with me and I checked my pockets, then there was nothing there. It’s like panicking mode.

March was quite a good month for me, but now April is like a complete opposite of it. I don't know is it just me but when a month changes, a switch turns and my life makes a 180. Just today I got immensily emotionally unstable, mainly because I haven't got to pursue my emotions much recently which isn't healthy.
Thank you for sharing your changes with us. We want to know, what do you think are some shifts that occurred between March to April? Does this happen often for you?
@@Psych2go For pretty much everytime a month changes, yes. Say, I spend a lot of time with friends in like June and have great time that month, but once July comes, I won't see my friends for a while, I have multiple bad days in a row and just can't seem to enjoy life. Of course I'm trying to work on it and just try to accept my circle of life. This is not true everytime but it really FEELS like it, you know?
I go to the gym not only for body building, but releasing my anger as well. See, I like to use my anger as a fuel for strength and it feels good, no need to wait for the day I lose it and hurt someone when I can just release that anger at the gym and benefit from it at the same time.
My question is: how do you learn/train emotional stability?
Therapy.
That's neet part you don't
Now you will proceed to sing the iconic "we are number one"
First stap is accepting it. Next is find help like therapy and be open for help.
I used to think I was emotionally secure because I never showed the emotions but now I see I was just keeping it bottled up. I would not suggest this method

Being emotionally unstable can affect every aspect of your life, from your relationships to your job performance.
Here's the thing, I made mistakes when I was upset before psychiatric care, afterwards it no longer was a choice to not be what I confused as being "open" when it was just unrestrained emotions being unfiltered and communicated based upon my best assessment, I didn't grow up with being able to express sadness, anger and other emotions but having to tolerate them being around me at a young age, from seven and that continued into my adult years as I was exhausted without feeling like I had any reason to be until I identified that the disregard for me as a person how I operated, along with how constantly reminded of my parents someday dying, to the "I'm the worst mother ever" when I brought up something that might have contributed to me being as messed up as I am when all I was trying to do was nail down what was wrong with me, combined with the fact everyone would leave or put me down for immaturity I didn't ask for as I wasn't shown properly how to be an adult.
I have many issues and if I could I would have been born without the capacity for negative emotions, to the degree of which I was capable of unless they operated within a confined box for empathy and love for others, maybe even for myself. My parents made me exhausted I thought it was normal, I know somehow I have to fix the wounds but I am not sure if I can given how far I have gone to even have wagered core parts of me to deities/devils so I could manipulate myself, something which isn't normal or how it works. I've struggled to understand patience, gentleness and kindness with myself when I had to expect being aggressively yelled at with a father red in the face for any failure or admitted wrong, sometimes even for wrong I didn't admit because of my fear. I learned to accept people for being how they are to an extent, cutting them off cleanly if possible or grieving over the loss substantially if I didn't have other people to help me out, I learned that some people never reflect and change their ways, even when you start to detach from them and in fact respond to your distancing of yourself from them as them needing to bite down harder on their "control" over you. If you're not quiet they'll leverage parental monitoring tools to observe what you do, if you open up to them and trust them, they'll lie to you and shame you with it to keep you under their control, you say no or object they'll push you to do what they want anyway, it doesn't matter what you want if they think something else is better for you.
Maybe if souls exist I won't get such a bad roll for a start with what you could call inconsistent at best to insensitive/abusive at best. I'm not sure if I can ever change at this point and I feel so far away from where I wanted to be and have by this point I am seriously considering throwing in the towel and living in the woods with animals, able to be violent and then pass away from whatever in peace surrounded by nature that I can understand

I was just reading about emotional regulation, great timing, so glad I'm subscribe
We read your mind! What did you learn from this video?
@@Psych2go I've been trying to help a friend all all of these signs relates to them, Im now actively searching for ways to lessen and prevent it, because I'd always want the best for them♥️
It can be hard to regulate my emotions but I used to not be able to at all I have come a long way and most of it was definitely Psych2go’s videos helping me. Thank you Psych
That sounds wonderful! We're so happy that our video was helpful for you. How are you doing now? What are somethings that you are doing to help regulate your emotions?
@@Psych2goI’m doing great now and I just listen to some relaxing music whenever I can, I draw while listening to music, and I try to get a good nights sleep to help
Getting emotional stability by self is not an easy process.Though hard but it's important to pray for your partner because sometimes they fight battles they'll never speak to you about.
Make sure they are covered.
Pray everyday for their win.
Thanks! You really help me figure out how to manage my own emotions❤
I'm so glad! What was your take away?
@@Psych2go That my emotions should matter to me and many people, and that it's important that I take care of them
That's me. I get emotionally unstable at times.
How long has this been happening for and how are you currently feeling?
@@Psych2go It has been happening since childhood. I feel neutral now.
Me too
I love how this channel has the most soothing narrators. Great video!

I've started to notice mood swings in my life once I graduated high school. I guess the sudden loneliness I face at my university has affected my positive personality at times.
Thank you for sharing your college experience with us. How are you doing now? Have you found strategies to help you feel less lonely?
@@Psych2go I've gotten in touch with a therapist at my university last week, it has helped just a tad bit. I took a survey at the beginning of the school year. It was regarding how students feel about the college they chose, the resources they find useful, and even asks personal questions about yourself. It's a requirement that every student needs to complete. Once I completed the survey, results had come out as likely to develop depression.
I definitely have emotional instability
What happens a lot is I’m running late even by just 15 minutes I panic sometimes on the verge of a panic attack
I go form happy to sad really quickly a lot it’s not good
I definitely can relate. Also makes me sad too
How come? Which part of the video was relatable?
Acting impulsive, maintaining a relationship.
The reason for it. Want to fix it but I can't do it myself.
So helpful ❤❤
I love you guys!!!
Since I want to be a psychiatrist, you really help❤❤
Love from india❤❤❤
Thank you for your love! We look forward to seeing your journey into becoming a psychiatrist
My life has been a tense rollercoaster. I was academically good when i was a child but was a chronic procrastinator. Just recently i realized that i was suffering from ADHD. My parents were loving but were kind of pushy (like all parents in a developing country). My Dad is especially very pushy and he used to boast that i was a genius when i was very young to everyone he met which placed enormous burden on me. I was mostly embarrassed about it but some of his vanity began to sink into me and i subconsciously began to believe that i was special and above others. My dad has emotional stability issues and is an alcoholic. He wanted to make it big in life but failed. So he chose to push his unrealistic dreams of making it big on me. I loved reading and am curious about everything but couldn't get my act together and find focus. As a chronic procrastinator i was mediocre academically upon graduation. But somehow landed on a job that i was interested in . Worked for three years, got burnt out since there wasnt anything new to learn, abandoned my job and went for higher studies taking a loan. It was like everything i dreamed would be. Good professors, good labs except there wasnt any time. I had placed too much expectations on myself when i took my higer studies. Wanted to maintain a good grade, pursue my field of interest and get a good research position in industry. But was ill prepared for it. I have a good intuition for science and engineering but lacked the mathematical foundation. Was not a problem in my UG or job but in a grad school, it was evident immediately. Tried to learn as fast as possible but learning something fast was not my strong point. I learn at my own pace and it got me into a lot of trouble. In addition the huge pressure of the education loan took toll on my mental health and i completely broke down. Fully lost my ability to learn. Would spend hours from morning till night in libraries and not finish a single page. Failed every single subject was kicked out and wasted two years after that to depressionand poor physical health. Currently living in my parents house with my father paying the monthly dues and it is causing a rift between us. But i am regaining my physical health, playing badminton, able to study and i am optimistic inspite of everything. Occasionally i am pulled back into depression and despair but i can read the signs and come out of it faster. Planning to complete my grad school and pursue research. Sorry for the long post. This is the first time i have written about my past.
I just got news my papa (grandpa) had a stroke and now getting physical therapy so it's probably not that bad also my older sister probably has 5 or less years to live (she's 31 if I remember correctly) and hearing a relaxing man's voice just camed me down a little bit so thank you

We all need a therapy and self-care.💙💙💙
We need to make a persistent effort to pay attention to our emotions, understand how they relate to our thinking, assumptions, and beliefs, and learn to acknowledge them rather than suppress them. Recovery it’s a journey of self-awareness and having a better relationship with yourself and others.
Great points. Thank you for your insight. In your experience, what are some practical ways that we can apply self-care into our lives? Do you have any personal favorite tips?
@@Psych2go I like reading my favorite books and nature observations. The most challanging is learning how to say 'NO' to others; many of us feel obligated to say yes when someone asks for our time or energy. However, if we're already stressed or overworked, saying yes to loved ones or coworkers can lead to burnout, anxiety, and irritability. It may take a little practice, but once we learn how to politely say no, we'll start to feel more self-confident, and we'll have more time for your self-care.
Honestly, my favourite art style, and also cheers up to the new voice actor! Thanks for the video, Psych2Go!
Thank you for the kind words!
My favorite art style to
This makes me sad because I relate to it a ton and my friends joke about mental illness or mental disabilitys and I have the main ones they make fun of and they don’t know how hard it is to have them
Thank you for making a video about this topic, if you could talk more about it in another video I'd be grateful ❤🤗
Thank you for your kind words. What do you think should be added if we were to make another video on this topic?
@@Psych2go I think a video about how to cop with emotional instability and how to help someone with emotional instability would be amazing 🤗🙏
These videos literally make my day

I don't need a video to know I'm fucked up. But thanks 😅 👍
I don’t know if I’m strong to handle love 😢. I’m 28 and still feel a lot of insecurities with a relationship and other things that makes a relationship unhealthy
The time will come where you know that you'll be ready for love. May I ask if it was based on experienced that caused insecurities for you?
@@Psych2go Yes please ma’am. I was really new to love life at 18 and to really say my first one had me go through a lot and at the time she was older than me. So I had suffered a lot throughout the entire relationship, heartbroken 💔 and misspoken 😔😢. Up till now I get the most worst confusing thoughts about whether my relationship life is going to okay. I’m really sad 😔
Do you think I’m going to be fine ma’am?
Finally! Thanks for changing the narrator & the flirty narration style!
I was walking by the ocean with my mom. We were having a good time. Then, all of a sudden, the mood changed because of a question I asked her. It was about work. I shouldn’t have brought up the topic. Next time, I will be careful not to! But yeah, just from that one disagreement, all the other things came out too, and on the car ride back home I was thinking it’s better to be dead than suffer like this and I was thinking how I hate my life. Then I did some CBT on myself and thought I shall create a life that I love (although I don’t know how, I don’t even know what that life looks like but I can take my time to think about it), and I thought I am suffering now but I have moments of joy, many of them in my life. I think my mom is also emotionally unstable, as little things can throw her off, like if I don’t respond to her telling me she made breakfast, she will almost scream at me! I have moments when I feel like screaming too!
I loved the vídeo! Everything on it is awesome!
Oh new voice???? I like it :D it's a change! Definitely prefer both
Good to know! Thank you for your feedback!
Myself is emotional unstable.
Last week, i upset my friend that I feel mad about myself that "why did I did it?"or"I đin't mean to hurt my friend".Then it spiral out of control and i punched a window and it make my hand bleed. After I punch it, bloods go everywhere with glass shard and I stomping up and down Mad why I did it. Then i quickly calm down and when I told this to my teacher and my parents right after it happed i cried and it happened at school. It almost ended my life, I could have died a week ago of lost too many bird or have my hand paralized for life. It affect me this bad. I feel better now. For those who are still reading, thank you for taking your time.

Thank you for being here and for your support! Did you learn anything from this video?
@@Psych2go Yeah, I learnt that I am emotionally stable, altough I have mood swings often they don't seem to impact other people except for myself, as I don't cry when I get a sad (yk what I mean) mood swing and I keep it to myself
I know I was emotionally stable, but I thought it was just My personality, not because of My CPTSD. This changed everything
I just "turn off" my emotions; can't be unstable if it's not there

I'm very unpredictable, unexpected reactions, sometimes I can't control my anger ,I'm very impulsive ,I'm hipervigilent , an emotional rollercoaster! Sometimes I manage to temper myself, when I'm at work for example,, sometimes my impulsivity comes out and I can't control ! All this because my depression and anxiety witch I'm diagnosed,I think! It's like always I fight insede me , witch keeps exhausting me so much, suck the life out of me ! I live with this every single day ! Not to mention some childhood drama and a few years ago ! I thought I got rid o PTSD ,but ...I don't! I want so much to control my feelings,not to be so emotional, I want this desperately!
For some reason I think I have like every single diagnosis that are negative but not like psychopathy or dark empath but even watching this can't improve me managing my sanity
I'm emotional cause I cant find my TV remote 😭
I only think I need to work on impulsivity. I’m not as impulsive as I once was. But I know I can do better. I have Septo Optic Dysplasia and CPTSD, and I think my brain might be thinking rationally in certain situations, but my mouth says way different than what my brain is thinking. I think I just need to try to rephrase certain things.
You’re not alone. I need to work on that as well. We’ll both unlearn the bad habit and replace them with better habits ❤️
@@divasins6356 exactly.
0:22 The cut out makes this entire scene just funny
Love the voice soooo much 🥰💖
😮💨 4 and 5 sum me up. its continuous work & healing to regulate my emotions but sometimes i get scared that i’ll lose control & just 💥
when i was younger my parents used to shout a lot at each other which led to a divorce and now when i’m a little older i find that anything remotely loud like a door slamming or someone shouting scares me so much but i tend to just bottle it up even if it’s killing me which it usually is, i was wondering if anyone would know if that’s some sort of ptsd or something else
Though it would take a medical professional to diagnose you specifically with PTSD, it sounds like there are some things that trigger your emotions in an unwanted manner. Have you had a chance to speak with a health care professional regarding this?
@@Psych2go no i haven’t but i am soon thank you very much!
Thank you for giving me your advices, l love all your videos they are amazing to me, right now l realize that I'm asexual because l don't know what is love anymore l trust lots of people and even people who were close to me broke my heart! So l don't know who to trust anymore!
Already knew I’m emotionally unstable, just wanted to make sure I have all my bases covered.
Emotional instability? Yes, and I won't fucking change!
i knew i was struggling bad but this defo helped 🙏😩
I am ALL of these and on top of emotional instability, I have bipolar disorder, acute anxiety disorder, CPTSD, and ADHD. I am currently in therapy and working hard on my mental health. This made me a very loneli person.
I rather have the other voice narrating these video's. I find it much for comfort than the other voices.
I suffer from emotional instability along with bad depression and i get times where im completely on top of the world and then within a matter of hours I feel incredibly depressed and feel like the world is going to end
Nice I have bpd , my life is a hellaven
This guy, has a very relaxing voice.
Its so hard to be like this and married. Im exhausted and have an emotional hangover. From trauma of my past and feel my character is constantly attacked.
Before I learned I had and got treatment for complex PTSD this video would have made me defensive, ashamed, angry, or depressed. And I don't mean sad when I say depressed. I really mean despair.
Thanks for the video 😊👍🏻
It's our pleasure 😊
Your channel was mentioned in my school's newspaper
Bit late but I love your content keep on going! :)
Thank you! Which topic/video is your favorite?
I have been in the midst of very unstable and unhealthy behaviors from emotionally destitute and vacant individuals. It's difficult and "tricky", with refrain on instability on my behalf, but people around me seem pernicious...still. if I'm allowed to permit such light on ill intent, it's tiring and rather exhausting and costly to be used and "abused" per say...cluster b...arg...dark triad/tetrad...arg. at least there are varied topics and discussion points and AMAZING animation here on Psych2Go UA-cam channel! Thanks everyone for helping and being a source and sound stability in personal development and learning and growth
I am definitely emotionally deregulated and thanks for the disclaimer because I was gonna take it personally😂
Thanks for information. What if your behavior is bad?
Hiiiii I love phsych2go channel and it always makes me happy, even if I'm in a bad mood I was wondering if I could ask for some advice
Yes of course you can! Please tell us how we can help you
Ok
Whatever has occurred in your life absorbed those minutes, those days. They need not claim dominion over these minutes, these hours, these days.
You do have a sanctuary, but it is not one to the past. It is to the ‘you’ you’re becoming. The days will come and go, but each will be anchored with tiny steps. Each one is a testament to future possibilities.
Face forward, not backward. These brand new moments belong to you.
Another great video
Can episodes of instability last for extended periods of time? Months or even longer? Same conversely. Are long periods of stability possible?

That's definitely me as of late as I've been emotionally unstable and tired of asking for help to only get rejected and make a fool out of it via agencies and programs
Seeking help is difficult especially when we feel like people don't seem to help us or even make a fool out of us. How are you doing now? Do you have the right resources to help you regulate your emotions?
@@Psych2go unfortunately no I don't. Living alone without no support services is awful where I'm from and if they do "help" as they only do bare minimum and except me to survive via food stamps and unstable economy
I always have emotional breakdowns and panic attacks because of the trauma from my family and other things my dad would threaten me even for the smallest mistake and he would tell me things and he would send me out of the house and I wanted to run away and my Mom dosent care about what he does she tells me hes not being abusive hes just being intimidating when I try to tell her what hes doing to me

You're welcome! Did you learn anything from this video?
According to this, it appears I’m more severely depressed and have anxiety if anything.
I've got half of those, I'm always crying on small stuff, and i struggle to figure why, i got some illogical reactions (like in summer break, i can feel fine, and then at one moment i just start feeling sad, or scared for no apparent reason), and i do have emotional rollercoasters, but that's basically it. I thought i might have bpd, but it doesn't seem like it, i do have clinic depression
Warning
I had a teacher who had sutch terrible moodswings that she wasn't able to teach us anything at all. She was allways furious or suspiciously happy. As a result, the whole class was afrait to be in the same room with her or at least angry because her moodswings caused them bad grades. I was allways hiding in the classroom because she was allways yelling at my frends and even insulting them... thank god those times are over...😓
Edit: sorry I'm german and my english isn't the best. 😅
Don't worry it was good and easily readable
I was all good and happy until i loved someone fuked up how being with destroyed my life my mental-physical health my relationship with god and family so if there is an advice i would like you to take is “be with someone healthy”and always priorities your self and trust your gut feelings
Well I guess it's nice to know
I need millions so I can live how I want and I'll be fine. Until then, life sucks.
Besides for money, what else can make you happy or bring joy to your life?

Your telling me when I am trying to find keys and I start panicking and start crying I am emotionally unstable? Because I do it a lot. If I stress over something for a long period of time or even short depending on what I’m stressing over I cry.
It’s affecting my career. 😢
😢 How so? Could you tell us more?
@@Psych2go I have performance anxiety for one, and some workplace trauma that has left me unable to handle situations above a certain stress level. It leaves me feeling incredibly emotional whereas I use to be able to tackle anything 😭
When it showed the movies with the reactions, oh my god, people can be dying left right and center in a sad scene, but one quote that can be simple can make me laugh so hard when my friends look at me like "WTF?!"
I've got problems 2 4 and 5 in this video
I've definitely established that I'm a run before walking person
I can literally describe my inability to calm down with a comic page of Nightwing and Flash (Wally West) where Wally shouts "I will not calm down!" in a panic
and as for 5: I have had trouble keeping friends before
I just go from cheerful to feeling empty in a matter of minutes
I go from anything to furious in a matter of seconds usually like a 10 second gap if being irritable but after that just angry
can you please do "the darkside to being aromantic" people think that being aro is all about not liking people.. nobody understands how truly lonely it feels sometimes :(
