There are plenty of people out there who are quite emotionally unstable and that can be very problematic whenever they choose to get into relationships with others. A lot of the time, emotional instability is an indication that that person is dealing with some more substantial issues within them. It might also be a sign that that person has undergone some significant emotional trauma, depression or mental health disorder.
There are plenty of signs that a person might be emotionally unstable. But a lot of the time, they’re going to be consistent with symptoms of depression and anxiety. It’s also likely that they are going to engage in behaviors and habits that can negatively affect the people that are around them.
According to the Counselling Directory, “They may also have intense bouts of anger, anxiety or depression that can last several hours or even days. Mood swings will vary between periods of dysphoria to periods of euphoria, and from manic self-confidence to severe anxiety and irritability.”
If you happen to know someone who you might think to be emotionally unstable, it’s very important that you are able to recognize all the signs immediately so that you will be better prepared to deal with them and address their needs. You are also going to be expected to serve as emotional support to this person should you already be in an intimate relationship.
But most importantly, developing your awareness of emotional instability can help protect you from the perils and the harmful behaviors that might come from such emotional volatility.
That’s why if you notice that the individual you’re with is guilty of the following signs, it’s very likely that they are an emotionally unstable person.
1. They have difficulty controlling their anger.
An emotionally unstable individual would be someone who would have difficulty controlling their anger. A lot of the time, people who are emotionally unstable would be easily set off by a lot of things that happen in life. They don’t exactly have the best temperaments. And so even the slightest event that isn’t to their liking would be enough to induce some kind of dramatic reaction out of them.
To make matters worse, a lot of people with anger issues have tendencies to be physically violent and potentially dangerous towards the people who are around them whenever they start to get angry.
2. They act more impulsively than they do methodically.
Emotionally unstable people are often those who let their feelings and emotions drive their decision making as opposed to their logic and reason. They are deeply impulsive. And instead of thinking about a choice in a well-rounded manner, they would engage in hasty and swift decision-making that isn’t always going to be of sound rationality.
3. They have a history of being in on-again, off-again relationships.
It’s very rare that a person who is emotionally unstable would be able to keep a romantic relationship alive for too long. Their emotional volatility can lead them to have destructive and toxic tendencies in romantic relationships. A lot of their behavioral traits can be self-destructive. And it’s hard for any kind of intimate relationship to survive that kind of emotional turmoil.
That’s why it’s likely that a person who has emotional stability would be one who has very little success in their relationship histories.

4. They have the most extreme reactions to simple situations.
And lastly, people who are emotionally unstable tend to have overblown reactions to even the simplest situations. They would be fond of taking the little things and just completely blowing them out of proportion with the way that they react to it or the way they would handle a situation.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The people who suffer from emotional instability are often the people who have undergone some kind of traumatic incident in their lives which caused them to become scarred individuals. Perhaps all of that trauma could have prevented them from developing certain emotional tools that they needed to be in better control of their feelings and emotions.
A lot of the time, people who are emotionally unstable are going to require a strong support group that can help protect them from their own toxic and destructive behavior. And in more extreme cases, people who are emotionally unstable will require medication and therapy.
It’s also important for you to understand that emotionally unstable people aren’t really looking to hurt the people who are around them. It’s just their natural responses to certain situations can wreak havoc on the lives of other people without them even realizing it.
If you happen to know someone who struggles with emotional instability, it’s important that you stay patient and understanding with them. If possible, be there for them to the best of your abilities. And if necessary, urge them to seek help from a professional.
I fit the bill on this one. I don’t mean to do the things I do, just can’t help it. I have resigned myself to being alone for the rest of my life, never having a gf or so at any time in my lonely existence. I would rather just be dead.
As days go by, we evolve dear. We think and try to understand what went wrong. We analyse, correct and be better. Both are responsible for a breakup. You are not alone. Look for solution for the situation.
Let the life happen, ponne (hope u r whom I think u r). You’ll be happy. I want you to be happy not dead.
