Do you think I have some emotional disorder?

[BamBam215]

Unlike most people, I know what I want out of life. I have already set goals and the steps in which I want to take each one. The goals I've set are things that I REALLY want to accomplish in life before I die. And of course there are steps along the way I have to take in order to accomplish these goals. My problem is, no matter how badly (and trust me it's badly) I want these goals, I seem to lack the motivation to do it. I have highs and lows. During some instances I will feel like I could do anything to get to my goals and sometimes during my lows, I feel like I could care less. I don't know how to explain my sometimes sudden shifts in emotion/motivation. I don't think it's just procrastination and laziness anymore. I'm starting to think I have some emotional disorder.

Has anybody else ever felt this way?.

No.

That is called being normal.

Saying it's normal is the easy way out. I look around my peers and I don't see them going through the same sh*t.

Depending on how exteme the highs and lows are it could be bipolar disorder...but most people have highs and lows like that to some extent ... maybe talk to a professional?

Hmm.. It's all about perception. Maybe you don't see them going through it because they don't express their feelings to their friends, ya know.

I agree, if the highs and lows are completely extreme... it may not be healthy, if not normal.. but everyone has highs and lows.. They're a fact of life in just about every way, "what goes up.. must come down" .. lol

Well like right now I would consider it my low. Where I'm feeling a little sad, depressed, and angered at myself. My highs would be I'm all pumped up and ready to do whatever it takes.


How would I go about talking to a professional anyways? A lot of money? I'm a broke ass college student 🙁

I admit I don't see what they're thinking but based on what they have accomplished, they have definately set some goals and were able to complete them.

My college gives each student 5 free sessions a year...maybe yours does?

What department or where should I be going to find out?


BTW, I just googled and read over the symptoms for bi-polar disorder. The mroe I read about it, the more it sounds like I have it 🙁

Necessity is the mother of invention. Sounds like you have no imminent needs.

Try excercising for about an hour a day. That will produce enough endorphins to even out your moods and take the edge off. The highs won't be so high and the lows won't be so low. It works.
