Is it normal to have fluctuating morals

I'm not sure if its just me or if everyone is like this.
It seems my thinking cycles between alturism and psychopathy.
Now I understand most people do good and bad things, thats not quite what I am getting at.

When I feel alturistic I want to help the world and I care deeply about others and am willing to make sacrifices to help others. I don't like to even kill bugs and am polite and kind to everyone.

When I feel psychopathic I don't give a shit about anyone but myself. I am rude, arrogant, and am especially disgusted by other peoples worthless feelings. I become sadistic and mean and haven no emotion whatsoever including guilt, anxity or sympathy. What I can still feel at times is annoyance and humor.

I also have periods between these where I'm not necessarily either.

I've been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and in case you don't know what that is it is a cyclic psychological condition similar to bipolar with added symptoms of cyclic psychosis. However my morals fluctuate indepently from my mood or psychotic symptoms. I don't know if it is part of the schizoaffective, or something else, or just a normal part of the human thought process.

    I don't have any morals at all so it is simple for me but I like blowjobs.

    I wouldn't say it's atypical.
    We all like to believe that we would behave in a morally correct fashion in any situation but we're all still human. Often times, our behavior and perception can reflect our current mood and outlook on life at the time.

    I, myself, feel the most charitable when I am experiencing good fortune. Say, for instance, I've received an unexpected bonus from work or a check from a rebate I forgot about. I'll be more likely to give money to charity. However, lately I have been more stingy and more financially conscious due to my recent misfortunes with my school costs. It happens and humans can be very situational beings.

    I cant believe all the people who get involved in the system. Being nuts is awesome. Honestly, i believe that most people are nuts or on the verge of losing it but manage to hide it. I love being insane and I get fluctuating morals as well along with general insanity and lunacy. Stop focusing on your diagnosis and simply enjoy the gift of being a fucking madman. Oh, and I was insane before I dropped acid so don't go hating on the LSD. The LSD made me a little more sane in some ways actually, however as they say in tv ads, results may vary and you may get way crazier. SO, yay for being nuts and have a great day

    See a doctor bud. The internet isn't the place for a diagnosis. Most of us are just average people putting our 2 cents in.

    If they fluctuate then they are not morals. You are amoral.

    If I have a bad day im usually pretty bitter, less forgiving, less understanding.. I think we all have that side of us. When we feel unhappy/sad we dont have the energy like we do when we feel good to offer help or patience to others... When people do bad things, its usually because they feel like they have the right to, or because they simply cant show empathy at that time.

    How about you think extra careful of your behaviour when you feel you have those "cold" emotions, and think carefully why, is it something that happened recently, did you sleep well? did you eat and take care of yourself? Write it down so that you dont have to feel like your becoming it, that you just are experiencing it. maybe it can give you perspective.
