infp/intp mood swings?

On closer inspection, what I had formerly labelled mood swings seems to be a periodic switch between f and t functions. Apparently in the "f" mode I eventually become overwhelmed with feeling and retreat into a "t" mode, which seems to work out for me just fine. So, I guess my normal default mode must be feeling. Does anyone else here resemble this syndrome?

    im not sure which is dominant but i definitely experience both alternatively. I think perhaps it is more an element of the imperfection of the descriptions. 7 billion divided by 16 is still an awful lot to be universally applicable.

    I'm an INFP with a strong F, but can operate strongly on the T side in situations that call for it. I don't know if I attribute that to causing mood swings though. I do have mood swings, but the cause is usually from when my idealistic plans aren't going the way they "should". I've been learning to find stability by maintaining my idealism thinking without creating expectations from it. Not an easy thing to do...
