Day 39

Do you have mood swings, what do you think causes them?

  • Yes I do have mood swings. I believe what causes my mood swings: lack of sleep, hormonal changes due to my period, depression, the season (winter/cold months), being around people/person whom I don’t like, being hungry and my anxiety. 
Do you have mood swings? if so, what causes your mood swings? I know many people will go as far to say that it could be a sign of bipolar — but I haven’t spoken with a specialist to say whether or not I suffer from bipolar.

Day 36

Do your emotions motivate you? Is this in a positive or negative way?

  • My emotions have motivated me in the past and sometimes still motivate me, I have allowed my emotions to get the best of me and had to suffer negative consequences due to my actions at the time but when my emotions are back up by determination, focus/drive, and serve as a purpose to humble me, or better myself — this ends up motivating me in a positive way. 
Are you the type of person whom allows their emotions to motivate them & does this work out in your favor, or no?
