Do any of you suffer from EXTREMELY intense emotional responses ?
For example, when someone acts treacherously toward me or treats me badly I begin to burn inside with a desire for revenge that borders on being apocalyptic:evil: . The desire to "repay" intrudes into my thoughts and keeps me in continual turmoil. I cannot push it out of my thoughts.
On the other hand, if I'm driving down the road and I see some poor animal that has been run over I will suddenly hear myself say "Oh no!" and feel a sense of sadness that lingers for quite a long time.
At work, I saw a young visually impaired student using her long cane to tap her way around obstacles and I felt a big lump in my throat and my eyes began to brim.
Recently, I watched an elderly man try to use his motorized wheelchair to cross a very busy street at night. His chair batteries had run out and he was struggling to get his chair out of harm's way. I went over and helped push his chair across the street and when I returned to my car I just broke down
and cried.:cry2:
What's wrong with me !!! How can I go from having the evil rage of a maniac to the compassion of an overly- sensitive child ?
( Btw, I have been professionally diagnosed and am not Bi-polar )
