Long story short, I just moved to Scotland about a week ago to study abroad for a semester. A little background: I've been typed as an INFJ ever since I first took the test in 9th grade. I always type INFJ, except for a few times I've gotten INFP. Anyways, on the 3rd or 4th day here, I experienced something really strange. I got into this really depressive mood, even contemplating suicide. Obviously I would never commit suicide because there is always that smart part of me that says it would be stupid. But what is strange is that I got so depressed in the first place. Crying constantly, thinking scary thoughts, being withdrawn and sometimes snarky at people, not wanting to talk to anyone, thinking that I would never get out of my situation, not wanting to do any schoolwork, etc. I got really unloving- not thinking anyone loved me, not truly remembering how deep my love it for my loved ones... Why this is so strange is because I am usually a really cheerful person. I am always smiling, willing to talk to others (albeit if they're receptive to me talking to them), thinking positively, knowing I can succeed. And I snapped out of literally overnight. I started feeling a little better one night, then I woke up the next day back to my old self, my confident and happy self.
Why I created this thread is because I am wondering if any other INFJs have ever gone through the same thing. Do you have this scary other side of you that only emerges at certain times? Can this happen to everyone, or if anything, what kind of association does it have with INFJ-ness?
