one minute happy next minute sad next minute anxious... What does this mean

[quickquestionaboutme]

I just need to know if I am going mad. I have one day of being happy with life, the next day I am so dissatisfied and depressed I look for ways to change things the next day I might be consumed with anxiety or have panic attacks and nightmares. I manage to hide these feelings most of the time but I dont know why I am like this. Why cant I just have two happy days or even two down days?? just some sort of stable condition. I would say it has affected my life alot the last couple of years but mentioning it to the doctor just sounds odd as of course everyone has good days and bad days its just the depth of the change its almost out of control. Any idea how I can deal with this.

Hi quick,

i didnt want to leave you unanswered.

I would definitely recommend talking to your GP. You know yourself best, and if you think it is an issue, they will listen to you.

thanks for your reply,
I have tried to talk to the gp but im not really sure what to say and it tends to come out as less than it is. Like to say i feel down makes it sounds like just a bad mood but its not, its just overwhelming like I just want to sit and stare at a wall.

I tried to speak to my gp but he just gave me a leaflet about panic attacks.

Really relate to this sounds a lot like me although mine can sometimes change from morning to afternoon for no good reason

I'm on citlopram which has helped the anxiety but not the unstable mood x
