What should I do to change my mentality from extreme confidence to a bit of depression? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

After a blow, for half a year I was like I had turned on invincibility mode, with endless energy. Moreover, my perception of physical pain and psychological grief was reduced, as if I could train in the gym for four hours a day and still feel like I had energy left. My willpower was bursting, and I had a lot of inaccurate perceptions of myself, often higher than my true situation. I became very talkative.

This "manic" self-confidence has brought me some charm and allowed me to make a lot of friends. But at the same time, sometimes I yell angrily and throw things... A lot of people have also left me because of my easily angered and conceited side.

But in recent months, my outlook on everything has completely changed. I have become very negative, feeling that everything is meaningless. I don't know why I'm fighting for anything. I often feel tired and have become very sensitive, easily depressed and indecisive. My physical manifestations are extreme fatigue, a noticeable feeling that I walk more slowly than before, my movements have become sluggish, I feel very tired even when I haven't done anything, I have become silent, and I lack the drive and motivation to forge ahead.

This change has made me very uncomfortable. It's like I've become a different person, with two completely different mental states. I've tried to rekindle the flame, but every time it's like a lighter with no gas, only emitting sparks...

Hello, my name is June, and I just wanted to say hello!

When you're feeling anxious, give yourself a hug!

You said that after the blow, you exercised like crazy for half a year and were in a high mood. Now you feel weak and low, which I totally get.

I exercise regularly, too, and I totally get how you're feeling. Working out at a high intensity helps you build muscle, lose fat, and get a gorgeous body. It's so great, isn't it?

This confidence will help you get through the tough times. It'll give you the strength to carry on, even when you're feeling down. You'll feel like you're doing well, and you'll know that you're strong and capable.

Your body will soon reach a plateau, and you might find that the pleasure and sense of achievement you get from exercising will be replaced by a sense of frustration. This will be followed by a strong sense of fatigue caused by over-exertion, and you might find that the psychological trauma you suppressed earlier resurfaces.

It's totally normal to feel like you're on the brink of an emotional breakdown when you're experiencing this kind of dual pain.

I've got a few tips for you right now:

You are worthy of love, even if you feel unlovable. You deserve to love yourself, even if no one else does.

It's so important to remember that self-punishment and self-abuse can't change what's already happened.

2. Take good care of your body, sweetheart! First, adjust your physical condition. Remember, your body and mind are one. When your body is strong, your natural mental energy will also increase.

3. Spend more time with your loved ones! There's nothing better for your mood than love and companionship.

4. There's nothing like some soothing music or a sad movie to help you feel better.

5. Try mindfulness meditation!

I hope these suggestions are helpful for you! I wish you the best!

Hello, I'm Ju Ning, your listener.

Please summarize your questions.

1. After a shock, I once felt very excited for about half a year. I had endless energy, plenty of energy and physical strength, and even dulled perception of pain and sad emotions. I talked a lot, had some unrealistic perceptions of myself, and sometimes lost control of my emotions.

2. In recent months, you have experienced the opposite. You feel low on energy, lack motivation for everything, feel depressed, have a sense of emptiness, get tired easily, even your movements have slowed down, you are quiet and lack motivation.

All of the above situations are very painful for you. You have made efforts to cheer yourself up, but you can't, which only makes you more confused and miserable.

Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs after a major blow. This is normal. Some people will become depressed, lose their sense of direction in life, and drown in the memories of the past. Others will rouse themselves, fight hard, and use their struggles to make them forget the pain.

Either way, it makes sense. You need to accept your emotions, both positive and negative. You have to allow yourself to feel, to feel sad, to feel pain, to accept all your reactions. These are all protective for you. You might just be tired and should rest. Try to experience your feelings, fatigue, depression, low mood, what are the deeper feelings behind these? I don't know what the thing that hit you was, but you need to figure out your feelings about it.

Tell me your thoughts. Did you have the chance to express yourself at the time?

Or were they denied and suppressed by you?

If you find yourself in any of the above situations, it is likely because you have not faced the traumatic event head-on. You have chosen to avoid, deny, and suppress your emotions. To solve the current problem, you must go back to that time and face what you don't want to face. This is difficult, and you may need someone to help you. My suggestions are as follows:

1. Given that your emotional fluctuations have persisted for over half a year, I advise you to visit your local mental health center for a consultation. A professional doctor can assess your situation and determine whether medication is necessary.

2. You need to see a professional psychologist to help you sort out your emotions and deal with the impact of traumatic events on you. You can't fight this alone. Get help from a counselor and you'll get through this.

3. Talk to your family and friends. Let them help you and support you.

The above is my analysis and advice on your situation. It can help you. There are more people who love you than you think, and you are stronger than you know. Love yourself and take care of yourself!

I love you, World. And I know you love me.

You will soon be able to untie the knot and embrace happiness!

Colleen Davis Growth is a journey of learning to see the growth that comes from collaboration and cooperation.

I can relate to feeling like you've been on top of the world and then suddenly everything shifts. It's tough when that high energy fades into something so heavy and draining. Wondering what happened and how to get back to that invincible self is consuming.

Kael Davis The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed up in two - C - common sense and diligence.

It sounds like you went through an intense period of hyperactivity, almost superhuman. Now it feels like the pendulum has swung to the opposite extreme. The contrast must be incredibly jarring, leaving you questioning everything about your life and efforts.

Langston Thomas The more one's knowledge encompasses different areas, the more they can contribute to the evolution of ideas.

Life can really throw curveballs sometimes. After being in that state of relentless drive and confidence, hitting this wall of negativity and fatigue feels like a complete 180. It's hard not to feel lost when your usual spark just won't catch anymore.

Leander Miller The journey to erudition is paved with the acquisition of different kinds of knowledge.

Your story resonates with me. There's nothing more disheartening than experiencing such a dramatic shift from boundless enthusiasm to a place where everything feels meaningless. It's like the fire within you has dimmed to embers, and reigniting it seems impossible.

Nadia Lane The respect for a teacher is the first step towards a love of learning.

What you're describing is quite a journey from one extreme to another. From manic energy to deep lethargy, it's as if you've lived two lives. Struggling to find motivation when you're used to having an inexhaustible supply must be incredibly frustrating.
