Mental health 101...next chapter

So, I am sort of an involuntary gambler. Every day, this 'roulette/chore wheel' gets spun, and that is my day. Some days, it gets spun multiple times....
If you can relate, let me know. And as always, feel free to share.

So..
Depression-relentless sadness for no particular reason.
Makes leaving the house pretty difficult.

Anxiety-relentless, unreasonable, overwhelming fear for no particular reason, or out of proportion to a situation.
Again, going out is a challenge.

Mania- unreasonable anger and impatience towards everyone ans everything.
Makes any social interactions, and driving, very "interesting' experiences.

Panic- unreasonable fears about pretty much any/everything.
Everything except breathing is tough until it passes.

Hypomania-the only truly positive thing on the wheel...unreasonable happiness and positivity totally out of proportion to reality.
I am very social, extremely creative, but things like retail therapy become a problem.

Hypersexuality- out of control sexual thoughts and urges.
Self-explanatory.

OCD- unreasonable expectations about pretty much everything.
But my house is VERY neat.

So...that's MY daily roulette/chore wheel...can't wait to see what the arrow points to today
