***2024 Additional Revised Anxiety Edition***

Modern people, struggling in a fiercely competitive society, live their lives experiencing frequent emotional ups and downs.
Running hard to avoid being eliminated created a kind of sensitivity.
We, who are supposed to be good people to everyone and do our jobs perfectly, are now gripped by an inexplicable anxiety.
Everyone has experienced at least once that even a slight impurity in their peaceful daily life causes them to frown, worry about things that haven't happened, and get irritated by nothing.
Living while wearing various masks, sometimes I don't even know why I feel this way, and I feel guilty and ashamed of myself.

Published in its latest revised edition in 2024, "I Have Severe Mood Swings" contains easy mood management techniques to calm rollercoaster emotions and questions to help you reflect on your life.
Clear answers to why we need to understand our emotions and how to overcome anxiety and depression will provide refreshing and educational lessons for those of you who suffer from mood swings.

Author Park Han-pyeong says, “Looking into your mind is like cleaning out a refrigerator that hasn’t been cleaned in a long time.”
If you're feeling weary from life and want to take a moment to catch your breath, I hope this book will help you sort out your stale emotions and gain the wisdom to maintain a clear mood.

Anxiety is born from wanting to do well.
A desire to do well in what you consider important.
The desire to be rewarded for one's efforts.
Even with such pure motives and intentions, anxiety inevitably grows.
The more diligent you become in looking into your own mind and getting to know yourself, the more you will be able to predict the degree and extent of your mind's sway.
The better I can read myself, the less psychological pressure I can put on myself, and as that obsession diminishes, I can focus on one thing.
The compulsion to control everything.
The obsession that you absolutely must do well.
The frustration of not being able to do it perfectly.
Distraction, the inability to concentrate and being swayed here and there.
We need to let go of the impatience we feel when things don't go as planned.

It's hard because you set big goals from the beginning, try to do too well, and try to do it perfectly.
Break it down into the smallest units you can keep, and promise yourself that you will keep them.
Because while it's difficult to keep big promises, it's easy to keep small ones.
As you keep these small promises to yourself one by one, you will begin to trust yourself.
A person who believes he can do something has no time to be anxious.
If you have self-confidence, you can definitely overcome anxiety.
You can create your life the way you want it to be.

There is a class to expressing anger.
There is a big difference between expressing anger and taking it out on others.
While letting others know that you are upset and stressed when something has violated your boundaries is an important part of protecting yourself, venting your frustration and distress by pouring it out on others is a violation of that person's boundaries.
Remember, no one has the obligation or responsibility to accept your one-sided, violent outbursts.

Don't always blame yourself for the hurt feelings.
Don't look for the reason for the hurt you receive from others in yourself.
Hurt only as deeply as the wound, and don't leave it for too long.
Finding reasons can help reduce trial and error, but if your thoughts continue to flow inward, it can become a reason for your own destruction.
Bright people, patient people, talented people, strict people, and accomplished people all live with their own wounds.
There is no one without scars.
If you get hurt, apply medicine right away, and if you feel pain, rest for a while.
It's good to give in sometimes.
That's okay.
That feeling that is confusing you right now will surely pass.

Rejection is something we need to protect ourselves from, and of course, this also requires practice.
There are ways to be good at refusing, and anyone who has tried it at least once is good at it.
Decide to say no for your mental health.
You don't have to unconditionally accept a request.
It's true that it's not the feeling that it's not like that.
There is no need to force someone to lend you something.
It's okay not to answer difficult questions.
There is no need to embrace what makes you uncomfortable.

You don't have to worry about people around you leaving.
A relationship that requires you to give in to rude requests will never last, and there will always be people who will stay by your side.

I often feel like my emotions are being wasted on meaningless things.
These days, if I were to write down my feelings in a household ledger, I'd think it would be spending that borders on waste, rather than investing, saving, or spending meaningfully.
There is a line like this in the Disney animation Alice in Wonderland.
"I decide how I feel.
Today I want to be 'happy'."
We all know the truth that we only live once, but it seems that not many people live their lives reflecting on the fact that life is made up of the emotions we experience each day.
Since today is a gift given to us, we should not waste the emotions of the day on meaningless things.
When I think about how I feel today, it becomes a page in my life, and I can't wait to change it to a happy mood.
You don't have the emotional reserves to spend on things that don't mean anything to you.
So, instead of wasting your emotions on useless things, fleeting relationships, and meaningless situations, let's put them to good use where they belong.
It all depends on how you think about it.
If possible, it would be better to decide to fill your life with happiness.
