    No. I get depressed easily now, and I have homicidal thoughts on a regular basis. I have considered therapy, but I have yet to pull the trigger on that.

    Maybe. I'm not one to show emotion. Even with a body that makes me want to cut/rip/surgically remove(this is probably the best option) the offending parts of it, I'm generally unflustered. On the other hand, I have... cried. Like a little baby. Because my parents think I'm nuts. Due to transphobia, the kids at school would label me as a freak if I came out. Even if I had the most girly body in the world as a guy, I'd take it. It would be better than this, really.
    Tl;Dr:Not in a favorable situation and I sometimes want to wall up in my room and live on water, animu, vidya games, T, and instant ramen (from the Ramen Rater store, to ensure quality). I'm grateful that I am somewhat stable.

    I consider myself quite stable.

    I'm consistently very laid back while being a raging Type A++ personality.

    I think this is one of those questions where it's like asking are you "normal"? When "normal" isn't definable in real terms. I might consider myself emotionally stable but by viewed by others as being emotionally unstable. Personally I consider myself mentally unstable but that's just my view :grin:

    No, not really; one day I can be fine and confident and the next I'm just waiting for the end and trying not to fall back into the swing of things.

    But it never really gets better I suppose, that's what I've heard; you just try harder on those days once you get something to live for; until then, I'm a mess..

    I wish I could tell someone this; it's like no-one really understands, not most people; and those who do are just as messed up as I am.

    Sort of. I mean, sometimes I'm a total emotional wreck and I'm depressed for weeks, but most of the time I can deal with stuff. lately I've been completely out of whack though. It takes some pretty tough stuff to crack me most of the time.

    Probably not, I have random moodswings when i'm alone, and my anger has a short fuse.

    Does consistent boredom and a totally flat mood count as emotionally stable?

    Is there a hell no button? That would be more appropriate...

    I don't think so. I'm really emotional and sensitive; my emotions can be real strong, especially concerning people/things I love, and I can get excited and such very easily. And if something really bothers me, I can get pretty ranty and riled-up.

    I've concluded this over the last few weeks. I am 99% stable when I have sleep. When I lack sleep, hang on to something because my crazy is gonna come out :grin:

    It's one of my traits that I acknowledge as a good thing. I'm proud of the fact that I can keep my emotions at bay if need be. It's tough though sometimes. There are times where I just want to give in and place a dent in someone's normally 3D face, and other times where I just want to burst into tears because I'm just so damn sad or happy.

    As of lately, I've been cracking, but that's because of all the tacked on stress that comes from balancing work, a boyfriend, and trying to get back in school, as well as trying to squeeze some me-time in there.. Once I get the hang of things, I'll be good as new and able to push those pesky emotions back into their cages. (That is for everything else other than my boyfriend *wink*)

    I'd say so. A little odd certainly, but stable. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Fuck no I went from feeling absolutely FABULOUS to wanting to beat the entire world with a damn frying pan today. All because of the F word being used in a rap song during PE.

    I want to say, maybe. I'm really emotionally unstable and fragile, but I'm pretty good at working through the pain, even if the problem is fabricated. I've basically found a lot of coping mechanisms and such to kind of quell my emotions when they do start to go haywire.

    That's not to say that I still don't have my bad times though.

    Not really at the moment. Depression and stupid, negative emotions occur quite a lot with me /:

    Quite crazy, but stable.
