Mood Swings
When I get made at my mom because of something she said to me or something she wont let me do I get really really upset and basically start talking back to her and saying things I shouldn't then storm upstairs. After a few minutes of being unbelievably mad, I realize that I over reacted and go back down stairs and ask her if she needs help or something. It happens all the time. And because I do it alot, my mom now thinks I have mood swings. But, I don't, I just always feel sorry about the way I talked to her. I know it's something I need to change and I'm working on it because I know I shouldn't treat her that way. But, while I’m working on it, how can I convince her that I do not have mood swings?

Getting extremely mad and saying mean things, then immediately regretting them is a definite case of mood swings. What you are working on right now, is how to deal with those mood swings. Don't bother convincing her, because she's right.
Part of the problem here, is that you are refusing to accept what your parents (in this case specifically, your mom) say. You feel that her "accusation" is wrong just because you have a habit of disagreeing with her. Don't believe me? That's how your arguments are starting, because you constantly disagree with her, despite the fact that she is older than you and has already lived life in your shoes and experienced the same things you have, as well as a lot that you haven't. Just work on accepting that some of the things your parents are telling you are right.

Just tell her one day that you need to talk to her. Sit down with her and explain how you feel after you get in fights. Let her know that you are trying really hard to stop fighting with her and see what she says and ho she feels about the situation. Hope we helped!

You can't convince her of anything. She will believe what she wants to believe and if that is that you have mood swings, you can't change that. I believe you, though. I used to do the exact same thing with my mother. You are just a generally sensitive person and you are able minded enough to feel for other people. You are also mature enough to admit you were wrong which is a good thing. True, you shouldn't treat your mom that way but as long as you apologize and own up to your errors and try your hardest not to do it much, its okay.

just tell her exactly what you just said. the only way to tell someone something..is to tell them. but i do know what you mean. i get that way sometimes, so i close my eyes and count to five. you should try it, it works for me.

I have the same problem too. What i do is when someone gets mad at me or i get mad at them and we start to fight and it's getting kinda harsh i just walk away or just ignore them and just try to calm my self down. Hope I Helped!

Tell her that it's just that there are times when people say things without knowing the consequences,hurting others but basically it happens to others not just you,and that it is very common,and then we notice our mistakes,and feel sorry about it and keep insisting that it isn't mood swings.Good luck!

Well...you kind of do. Not in the sense that you change for no reason but over-reacting to things and suddenly going from one emotion to another because of a pretty small trigger is a mood swing I think.
I'm guessing you're a teenager in which case it's totally normal- you're changing mentally and physically and your hormones are all over the shop so it'd be odd if you weren't a bit erratic. At least you realise afterwards what you've said and try to make it up to her. Keep trying to change it but don't worry about it.
I'm sure if your mum's sensible she'll know it's just part of growing up so don't bother trying to tell her you don't have mood swings- it'll just end up in an arguement where you talk back, say things you shouldn't, storm upstairs...:) lol.

You know... I dont know exactly how old you are but if you are in your teens, it is perfectly normal to have some sort of mood swings. This is not like some kind of lable saying that you are crazy of something. Hormones in a teenager may make you seem a little back and forth sometimes. Teenagers have temper tantroms and it is actually a good thing that you actually take the time to go and (in your way) apologize. Just take the time to sit down with your mom and explain that you just get so upset sometimes and although you are just now learning how to handle it, you are sorry for the way that you react. It will all work itself out with a little patience on both your part and your moms.
