I feel happy in public(the fake type of happy where I play along with what people say)so people won't bother me about how I feel.But on certain occasions when I'm socializing with people my deep thoughts of depressions go away .But one bad remark can make haunt me throughout the day/night.When I go home(75% of the time) I feel horrible and think about the day from beginning to end and only analyze the Bad parts of the day.I cannot go to sleep because I am up at night thinking about what happened throughout the day. I consider myself over dramatic because even jokingly insulted(for example people saying things like (%26quot;your an idiot%26quot;)leave me thinking for days after . Anyone have such similar events?Is it bipolar but I'm not sure could someone clarify?My Brother has Anxiety disorder so it might be genetics.Why do I have Mood changes every day I get home?Anxiety disorder has nothing to do with genetics, so you can toss that thought out. It does, however, have to do with emotional stability and that leads to upbringing. In that, there could be a common ground with your brother.
However, for your case it doesn't sound like Anxiety, but it could develop into it. What it is, is you are repressing your emotions while in public. This isn't an unusual occurrence. Social stipulations have us all trying to be kind and polite to one another. This means to always be friendly (the fake type of happy) and always agree with what's being said (playing along).
When you get home, the need to be %26quot;socially correct%26quot; goes away and all those repressed emotions can come back at you with a vengeance. With your guard down it all gets recalled and replayed in your mind, causing those horrible feelings, thoughts, and emotions to surface.
This is a bit of a troublesome path you are currently treading. By not being yourself or disagreeing with anyone you are only suppressing who and what you are. This can have a long time negative effect on a person that causes stress, hypertension, and eventually anxiety. By avoiding telling people how you feel about things, you are only compounding on your current problem.
This stress can also be caused by a fear of confrontation. By disagreeing with someone or not feeling the same way about things, it could potentially lead to a confrontation. However, you need to realize that people can actually appreciate you more if you actually show that you do have your own thoughts and ideas. By conforming to what everyone else thinks and says by %26quot;playing along%26quot; you're only doing yourself a disservice by not showing them that you are an individual.
This will be easier said then done, but you need to start being yourself more. Don't be ashamed or afraid to show if you're not in a good mood that day. People can be surprisingly respectful of you even if you don't feel like talking about what has you down. They might even try to cheer you up.
Hope this advice helps.Why do I have Mood changes every day I get home?Most moods have a relatively short shelf live, and you moods seem to expire about the same time each day. You may be able to extend their life by better nourishment and regular exercise. Good luck.
RoseyWhy do I have Mood changes every day I get home?i feel the same way too.

yupWhy do I have Mood changes every day I get home?if u've felt this way for more than two weeks, think about seeing a doctor and explaining your symptoms. Maybe you do have depression or anxiety, or neither and would just benefit from talking to someone on occasion about how you feel and learning new behavioral techniques to your reactions
