How to use "Un-stable" in context?
We all know someone or ourselves who are "un-stable". It seems as though their moods can shift with the wind, and they can flip from being happy and optimism to being angry, frustrated and anxious in the blink of an eye. The hallmark of being "un-stable" seems to be a lack of stability in one's moods or emotions.
Even though it can be difficult to live with someone who is "un-stable", it is important to remember that they are not a bad person. Afterall, they are just experiencing a relatively new and difficult phenomenon - which is why it is important to have support and understanding.
