Yes sometimes when the mood hits it can go on for days, until you make a conscious effort to get rid of it. It is like a leech that won’t leave if you do not address it.
Mood swings can be like a leech that won't leave. That conscious effort is what I'm learning all day to practice. It will help me to snap so easily out of the mood.
Having mood swings is a normal thing for human beings, it's not about your temper. I think the solution you need is to clear your mind when you started feeling withdrawn or when you feel too tempered by what someone did, it will help easily.
One thing that has always helped me is to remember that I should not allow a bad moment to spoil my whole day. I try to focus on your good parts of the day.
Well, it's good to remember the good parts of the day but it's not so easy to do. You will struggle as if something is pulling you away from those good moments. If I'm just alone, I don't care how long the mood stays with me, I don't fight it but with people outside, I tried to do my best.
And having people around that makes the good parts to last more longer is very important because you can be happy while another person will come to spoil it.
As soon as possible you should know those that sap your energy and spoil your good time so as to stay far away from the as possible.
As long as I still breath, it's more than enough for me to be happy. Yes, some days can be very disappointing but being alive is the biggest win.
I can't run away from those people that sap my energy, I will rather go silent on them than avoiding them. They will read the handwriting and stay far away.
I can never trade my happiness with anything except being alive. Some days are not the way we wants it doesn't mean we will dwell in it until it fits. We get need to be happy even on those disappointing days.
These things are inevitable, they will always happen. You need to train yourself to not be affected when they happen.
