A mood swing is an extreme or rapid change in mood (Wikipedia).
My mood off late seems to resemble the Singapore weather. Highly unpredictable.
I was trying to analyse why i was experiencing these mood swings. Let me tell you, it is NOT PLEASANT. One minute you seem perfectly normal and happy, the next minute you feel like a bull ready to charge. Its almost tiring, trying to keep up with your moods and manage people and relationships.
So, now the question is : How do you handle a mood-swinger?
(oh i like this word, its quite a swinging word. Feels like the 70s)
1) You let them rant. Rant. Whine. Complain. Cry. Whatever they want to do.
2) Do not interrupt and try to have your 2 cents worth of fame with some lame ass advice
(though it is a much appreciated attempt)
3) If there is alcohol, hand it over immediately. No one needs it more than a mood-swinger
4) It is advantageous to give chocolate.
5) Numb yourself ( this is very very important). Use dry ice, alcohol, or just be an emotion-less prick as it can get nasty (being attacked by words and occasionally even physical attack)
So, eventually, they're bound to "swing" back to a less grumpy/angry mood. Subsequently, they'll get back to normal. But till then, i guess the mood-swinger would have to walk around with a "Beware" sign.
P.S. These are with regards to my mood swings. I do not mean to hurt anyone.
