The best way to explain bipolar emotions is in terms of similar weather events that not only impact the area in which the event occurred but others around it. As intense as these emotions are the after effect can impact t the lives of those we love. It can make us feel unwanted, misunderstood, hard to love.
Feelings can be intense for people with bipolar. Something small can trigger a wave of closed off emotions and release a tsunami of anger, sadness and irritation. Its intensity can lead to an explosive volcano of thoughts and feelings. Its hard to decipher what's the current and what's pasts. Sometimes it can bring up past situations in which we have had the same feeling as leading to misunderstanding to those around us. When there are unresolved stressor that do not change it can keep us in the same mindset, thought pattern or wave of emotions.
