    I'm not really sure that I consider myself stable. Hard to say.

    Hell fucking no. I've read enough psychology books to know a basket case when I see one. And I fit into that category.

    Generally I'd say yes, but as of now, no. But it's not because of the fact I'm LGBT. I do deal with anxiety and such but I never thought of it as something major. Lot of other things going on right now and making my moods fluctuate very frequently, from going into an ok state to everything is generally awful. Multiple people have noticed and said I need to see someone for it, even if it's just for a little while. But eh.

    No bloody way. The amount of Social anxiety and self loathing and other attributes I have make me the opposite or even remotely secure.

    People think I'm stable, but I'm a wreck most of the time.

    I have these terrible mood swings that plunges me into this deep abyss from time to time. But this is already better than a few years ago, when I actually seriously considered suicide for a period of time.

    I'm really really not stable. I scare myself sometimes.

    Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I used to be depressed, but now much less though it comes back in some fleeting moments.

    Although I donĀ“t feel too well at the moment it has everything to do with the attack that left my boyfriend suddenly disabled and nothing with me being gay.

    This...

    For me to cry anything at all, there has to be something weighting me down very badly. And even then, I cry like... 10 seconds and it's gone.

    My emotions are secondary and I keep them secondary so that I can function properly every day.

    I honestly can't imagine what it's like to go around with emotions all over the place all the time.

    No not stable at all. Im way too anxious which can often lead to me feeling down and then angry with myself.

    Yes. I have my off days (but don't we all), but overall I consider myself quite stable.

    I'm emotionally stable most of the time. When I'm stressed or faced with uncertainty then I become unstable. I'm learning how to cope with these sorts of situations.

    You know, I honestly couldn't tell you. I obviously have my issues, but if they're not triggered, then I try and stay as calm as possible and it usually works. When debating, especially while dealing with people throwing ad-hominems and telling me I don't exist, I've had a woozy kind of feeling, but I still try and gather my composure and focus on what I'm actually trying to say. But there are also times that go by and I know exactly what I'm doing, and I know how I'm going to get where and when, and things are peachy. I've also had weird moments where I all of a sudden want to hug a pillow and cry for no apparent reason.... so.. again, couldn't tell you.

    I feel pretty level-headed lately, which is weird for me. I voted "maybe" since I've been getting better, but I'm still not quite there yet.

    I went with maybe because I don't really know. I think I'm slightly more stable than I was earlier this year if that counts.
