Discussion Does anyone cycle through feeling sad, anxious, and angry/violent?

[Kristicide]

I'm diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety/Panic disorders. On a typical day my mood shifts between sadness/hopeless, extreme panic (fight or flight response) and anger (sometimes violent - not at other people. I'm more likely to punch a wall). They all fluctuate during the day a few times - some staying longer than other emotions. I know it's not mania because I don't get that good high feeling. Anyone else like this?

I cycled through emotions when I first started thyroid medication. I would go from fine, to crying, to mad, to giddy, to aggressive , to anxious, to silly, and repeat. They upped my thyroid dose and it stopped.

I got sick through medical negligence and my lawsuit never went through so between being debilitated and feeling like useless garbage and wanting revenge on those that harmed me, yes.

I get the mania. I feel good when i get the down feeling and depressed. I get a high when i realize im gonna ctb but it subsides when i fail to have a plan

May i ask what kind of thyroid medicine you are on? I have hyperthyroidism and i take methimazole 10 mg once a day. I felt it made my mood stable for about a few months but then back to my usual self

I don't have an anger problem in my personal life and I get along with people .

The extent of my anger is I really get a thrill when top politicians and certain business leaders die or are maimed. If I see a headline like "president of country diagnosed with cancer " I howl with laughter. I'm really really hoping to see Kissinger go soon.

Yes. I cycle through those exact emotions when whatever ails me starts acting up.
