Hello, question asker!
The questioner's overall feeling is that they experience happiness and sadness in equal measure. Their emotions fluctuate, oscillating between the two extremes. When they encounter something sad, they analyse and adjust it. They are adept at regulating their emotions. After sleeping, they wake up to a brand new day, embracing the sunshine, gentle breeze, and the opportunity to make the most of this good time.
This is when the questioner has adjusted their emotions and is in the best condition.
The next day or the day after that, you feel hopeless again, and you feel drained. It's like a 100% charged emotion, which slowly runs out of power after being used. You haven't recharged your emotions in the past two days, which is why you're feeling this way.
❀So, are the emotional ups and downs that the questioner experiences a sustained emotion in response to a particular event? Or do you feel down after one thing is resolved and before the next thing comes along?
I also want to know what the questioner's usual mood is when they are not experiencing sadness.
If the questioner often feels inexplicably bad or their mood fluctuates, they should talk to a professional in detail about the specific situation. It is likely that they are suffering from emotional flu.
If you only become depressed when encountering sad things and can regulate yourself, try meditation or mindfulness to recharge your emotions. The "Meditation Planet" section on the Yixinli app is a great place to start. It will have a positive effect on your emotional regulation and peace of mind.
The questioner should also talk to a listening therapist on the platform when they are feeling low. In addition to self-adjustment, they can also draw on external resources and strength, which will open up another line of thought for the questioner and give them a new perspective.
❀Furthermore, after experiencing intense happiness, people often feel tired, a bit lonely, and a bit depressed. This is likely a form of emotional self-regulation. It's like a rubber band: you can't keep it stretched out all the time, otherwise it will break easily. The same is true for emotions.
If you feel that these emotions are affecting your life, work, studies, etc., you should seek professional help. If you just feel uncomfortable, try the suggestions above.
Your thoughts shape your reality. We all see the world through a unique lens. Every day is a fresh start! I hope you are well!

I can totally relate to what you're going through. It's like riding an emotional roller coaster, where one day you're on top of the world and the next, everything feels heavy. But it's great that you're able to bounce back with hope each time. That resilience is something to be proud of.
It sounds like you've got a cycle of highs and lows that can be pretty exhausting. The fact that you can turn things around and find joy again is amazing. Maybe exploring why those dips happen could help in finding more stability over time.
Your experience reminds me of how life can sometimes feel unpredictable. It's impressive that you manage to regain your optimism so quickly. Perhaps keeping a journal or talking to someone about these shifts could offer some insights into what triggers the changes in your mood.
It's interesting how you described your emotional journey. It seems like you have a powerful ability to reset and start fresh each day. Have you thought about ways to sustain that positive energy for longer periods? Sometimes small routines or practices can make a big difference.
Feeling such intense ups and downs at 25 is not uncommon. It's heartening to hear that despite the sadness, you always manage to find your way back to happiness.
