Your brain didn’t get the memo—but your feelings just hit 90mph.
In this episode of My Brain’s a Mess (And That’s Okay), we’re talking about emotional whiplash: those sudden, jarring mood shifts that leave you wondering, “What just happened to me?” Whether you’re neurodivergent, emotionally exhausted, or just navigating a tender season of life, this episode breaks down why rapid emotional changes happen—and what to do when they derail your day.
We’ll explore the nervous system mechanics behind fast mood shifts, the shame that often follows, and how to re-anchor yourself when your emotional landscape feels like a rollercoaster.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why your mood shifts so fast (and why that doesn’t mean you’re unstable)
What emotional whiplash has to do with your nervous system
Grounding tools to regulate quickly and recover with compassion
