Friends with Mood Swings

[Bizdustry]

So, how long do mood swings last? And, what advice would you give as a friend of another person who suffers with mood swings? Should you just reassure them and be more patient than usual?

My mood swing goes for just few hours. Sometimes I don't even like it and I try to snap out of it myself because it does help me that way.

One thing about having friends that have regular mood swings is that it would make relating with them to be stressful. Having to pep talk someone every time because they have mood swings is exhausting. I avoid people that have regular mood swings like a plague.

I try to be patient and supportive with friends who have mood swings, but I also set healthy boundaries. Open communication helps, and if needed, I encourage them to seek professional support.

Having friends with mood swings can be challenging. I’ve had a few, and it’s like walking on eggshells one moment everything’s fine, the next, something small sets them off. I try to be patient and understanding, especially if it’s tied to something deeper like anxiety or stress. But at the same time, I’ve learned to set boundaries for my own peace of mind. It helps to talk openly and let them know how their mood changes affect those around them.
