s and some are happy, some are totally miserable, some are a bit down, some are depressed, some are suicidal, some are euphoric and some are just relaxed? All at the same time? That's how I've felt for the last half hour.

Kinda. But not all at the same time - there's a room full of them at the back of my head and I have to pull them out one at a time. It's not a completely automatic thing - I can't just switch at will, I seem to have to rationalise the switch. Some kind of logic to throw me into the new mindset, to get things going. I guess it's like having a wardrobe full of masks, but not being able to put them on until you've gotten into character.

I don't have a soul.

I have some feelings, emotions, but they usually manifest due to the obvious and tangible.

Yes, and it just depends on my mood every day!

I feel different feeling at the same and they all are directed or caused by different things. I don't have my own basic emotion that colours what I see. To feel different things caused by different stimuli - it isn't confusing as long as I keep on working to figure out one at a time and then I don't feel them any more. (If I were to try to work out every single emotion at the same time while they're all there still, I get confused and mix up feelings until I have a meltdown.)

I don't believe in such a thing as a soul.

You know what I mean. Your consciousness or whatever you want to call it.

Well, yeah, I do know what you mean.

I can feel like 10 different emotions at the same time.

Have any of you ever felt like there will be some reaction, or an invasion like a tumor, or an explosion in your brain like an aneurysm or massive death like a stroke or something, that it's working up to that, that one day if you don't be careful-- or one day inevitably-- you're going to be certifiably insane, dead because of the reaction, catatonic, in a vegetative state, really slow and with half your brain gone, or something like that? Actually I feel much better now because adverb told me he felt the exact same way years ago and that he was amazed for a while that it hadn't happened yet or that he didn't feel like it would happen any more or something like that.

Sometimes I'm really sad and afraid of the world around me, and at the same time angry at myself for not doing better in life. I feel like I want to run away and die, or I feel like my brain is going to explode.

Usually I'm very mellow, and I'm merely afraid of the world around me.

More rarely I'm very happy, energetic, on top of the world, and I think that nothing can stop me from doing anything. Usually this occurs when I'm not even in a position to accomplish anything.
