Changing your mind according to your condition?

For the past couple of years I noticed I’ve been suffering from this “symptom” where I change my mind according to my condition.

For instance, when I’m doing good, I hardly think about my future partner or I don’t even want one, I’m convinced I’m better off alone and happy about it. But as soon as I’m becoming a little unwell I start to think I definitely want a partner, and that not having one is what makes my life miserable. But then I become better again and I’m happy about being alone. I’m kind of fed up with my own indecisiveness.

Not really sure which is my true feelings. But if I always felt good, I’d never want a partner so maybe my answer is that I don’t need one and that’s why I’ve been single.

Is changing your mind a symptom?

Any tips on how to deal with this?

I can’t think this is a “symptom” while I’m in the middle of it. And notice as soon as I get out of it. And been repeating this over and over. I’m so tired of this.

I have this too.

I think when we’re unwell we want someone to take care of us and care for our well being. When we’re well, we can take care of ourselves.

That’s funny I’m the opposite. When I’m unwell I’m just grateful I don’t have someone, and then when I’m feeling a bit better I wish I had someone.

Same as @everhopeful… But than I also have conflicting decisions about wither I want to feel anything emotional and involving a person in this seems to make me want to be without more.

It’s best not to decide when we are depressed because we might regret afterward (for a bad decision making).
