Hi alexro7. Welcome to Psych Central. Sorry to hear you are facing challenges. In some ways we all are due to this virus isolation, but people who already face difficulties may feel this more intensely. These may not give you a diagnosis but they suggest a cope with what you are pretty sure you are suffering from.

Depression Test - Do You Have Depression?

if you like this video check out these others by same person YouTube



I find when I am feeling like life looks kind of dark that exercises like this help me


Also a high carb diet tends to make my mood swings more frequent. So for me having a healthy, low carb diet with some kind of protein in every meal or snack, even if smaller every 3-4 hours. I read the brain needs protein so that could be why.

Some people find writing in a journal helps them. If they are afraid others will discover it and read it, I have heard they send emails to themselves.

If you want a 1-1 active listener in a safe, anonymous site, then this one offers this kind of place where you can have text chat conversations with a listener 24/7. If that sounds worth exploring it is here http://www.7cups.com
