 Emotional instability is characterized by fluctuating mood. One moment you are feeling happy and energetic, the next you may suddenly suffer an unexpected decline in mood. Have you ever seen a toddler throwing a gale force temper tantrum after his stacks of building blocks fell down or when a teenager slams her bedroom door after an argument with her parents? It is common for toddlers and teenagers to experience such extreme feelings. It's challenging to get off that emotional roller coaster when you're delighted one minute and sorrowful the next. Your emotions appear uncontrolled and intense and swing back and forth for no apparent reason, known as extreme mood swing in psychology. Eventually, most young adults improve their coping problem-solving skills and abilities to grow out of impulsive and emotionally unstable behavior. There's no doubt that we experience a wide range of emotions in life. Admittedly, they are ups and downs. Can you relate to any of these signs? Let us know in the comments. Until next time, bye friends.
