With your input, I have decided that maybe all of my biological changes might be a contributor to my mood fluctuations. Also, I have been through the holidays, quite an emotional time due to life experiences. It might be even that I still need some tweaks to the meds even though I have been okay for five months.

Genetic, I am a big believer in the Omega 3's. I eat fish as often as possible, and supplement as well. Also, I supplement with vitamin D daily. I need the sun to warm me, and the days have been more rainy than sunny for a while in my neck of the woods.

The mood that is overly active for me right now is restlessness. I can't settle long enough to read, sit still, focus on tasks, etc. This mood also makes me unnecessarily impatient.

My real concern is the ways I choose to soothe myself. Over medicating and alcohol are my modes of comfort when I feel restless. I am working with my t, but I also wonder if I need to change medications. I know that meds shouldn't be my answer, but I'd rather depend on the controlled prescribed ones, than my bad choices that make sense at the time.

Thanks for sharing!
