I get excited and feel down really easily...?

Question

how do you stabilize your emotion better?

Answer 1

Do regular timely excersize and think more before everything you do. Thinking mediates emotional conditions in self awareness, so pursue more intellectual activities like reading non-fiction, philosophy, psychology, chemistry is fun, mathematics/arithmetics,....science.

Emotion is bio-energy, use it up, your body shall thank you for it, it will extend your work duration more comfortably as you increase biological efficiency. Adrenaline is transformed in work to endorphine and that gives a sense of well being.

Answer 2

Okay, you get excited. How excited do you get? Do you get flights of fancy? Are you irritable at times and have a hard time controlling your temper--fly off the handle at stupid things? I don't know your age, but only assume that you are past pubetry and you have some sexual feelings. When you are in this excitable mood, do you think about sex more than usual? All of these things, and many others, are aspects of a condition known as mania. This is chemically induced in your brain to bring about a mood where you can loose your sense of reality, feel super-human, and become reckless and take dangerous risks. Of course, I'm not saying that you have this condition; only that you should be aware of it and seek professional help it you need it.

There is a less severe manifestion of this known as hypo-mania which is less debiliating and less severe. Some people live in a state of hypomania for very long periods, are very productive and creative. Many entertainers, artists and other extraordinary people use this manic energy in the professional lives. Some never really experience a down side.

The clue to mania, which is really only one side of the condition know as manic-depression, is the down side, or depression. At times it seems that the higher you go in mania, the lower you descend into depression after the mania has run its course. Depression is one of the most treated emotional problems in the United States, but there ae many kinds of depression--situaltional depression due to some life event to post-partum depresson after the birth of a baby which is experienced by some women. The depression I'm referring to is,once again, chemically induced, and it is not something that a person has control over or can "pull himself up by the bootstraps" and get out of. It is something that is going on in his brain. Again, your feeling down may not at all qualify as this kind of thing, but the fact that you go from one to the other is a sign that it could be and you may need help to stabalize you moods, your emotions.

The common treatment of manic-depression is lithium, a common natural salt compound that was first pioneered for use in the United States in the early 1970s by a Dr. Ronald Fieve at Columbia University in New York. I was a patient of his protege and treatment center director for over 20 years until I recently moved to a different state. Taken correctly and with the proper monitoring, lithium can do wonders to help you stablize emotions, you mood-swings. There are new drugs being developed for the treatment of manic-depression and new techniques for augmenting treatment.

There are a number of organizations that work with this, as well as with other mental illnesses. One whose work I follow is NARSAD, or National Association for Research of Schizophrenia and Affective (Mania, Depression, etc) Disorders. They offer a number of well-written brochures on these subjects. You can write them at NARSAD Research, 60 Cutter Mill RD, Suite 404, Great Neck, NY 11021. A website that has information on this subject is http:www.mhsource.com. Good luck finding help to get your emotions stable.
