The condition is: having periods of getting significantly emotional way more than usual but it's not simply a positive or negative mood, it's just simply being more emotional. It could include both negative and positive feelings. So it's not depression or mania. It's not borderline personality disorder because it is not a pervasive lifelong pattern.

What's the name of this kind of condition?

n me this is called mood swings, in an older relative this is called menopase, in another relative this is called schizophrenia,

my point is it can be many things and only your own treatment providers can tell you what this is in you. if this is about someone else only their treatment provider can answer what this is inside them.

my suggestion is if this continues to bother you contact your treatment providers who can tell you what this is in you (in other words make a diagnosis and get you treated for it.)

I did not mean normal emotionality, this is somehow nonfunctional.

I guess the psychological condition closest to this that I heard of is extremely rapid cycling bipolar, but that to me seems kind of a bullsh*it notion. It would be closest simply because it's emotional and has various emotions.

And the other thing closest to it is borderline PD but like I said this isn't a PD.

I feel agitation and anger very strongly. I don't have any positive emotions which I feel strongly about like pleasure or love. Sorry I can't help.

Thanks anyway!

And I really hope you'll find a way to have the positive emotions too.

Thanks for the input. I read up on this now. I guess if you want to categorize all emotions into negative (depressed) vs positive (manic) ones, this can fit, lol, a very very rapid cycling cyclothymia maybe if there's such a thing

But I dunno, because like I said it's basically me being way more emotional than usual. It's not simply grandiose manic stuff for the positive emotions, or simply depressed stuff for the negative emotions.

Basically I do not simply cycle between a negative and a positive baseline, but I "cycle" between unemotional and emotional. Make sense?

Sorry, I saw your post only now. Oh schizophrenia really? Interesting. I previously considered schizoaffective disorder for myself - well, a mild form of it if I'd even qualify, no hallucinations...

Thanks for the suggestion. Going to have my next appointment in 2 days so yeah I will ask.

Tbh I can see the cyclothymia now

Lamotrigine (mood stabiliser) was too strong for it though. Even at the lowest dosage.
