Massively fluctuating mood cycles

[lethargic]

Anyone else suffer from this? It's like daily variation for me at this point. I felt pretty ecstatic, energetic yesterday, thinking about this new car I want to and can buy and everything seemed just fine. Today it's like the exact opposite, I randomly get bombarded with thoughts such as I fucked up my youth, my childhood has permanently set me back, things only get worse as you age etc.

And then ultimately I start conceptualising the future. Imagine wageslaving your entire life, accumulating an impressive amount of wealth only to... give it away to the government, because you have no children. Incredible. What the fuck man.

What car do you want?

200SX S13. There's one for sale here in great street legal condition and I've always wanted headlights that go like V :')

A lot a lot. My work is in front of a screen as well.

Something my therapist has told me which might help is giving your depressing thoughts a name and a different voice. Once you get those thoughts you repeat it in a mocking tone and tell it to fuck off. In the end those thoughts don't have to matter. You just exist so might as well do some stuff you want.

It only works for me when I'm alread feeling kinda good, can always try it out to see if it works for you!

I also get pretty bad moodswings, it's tiring and confusing. I feel ya.
