Up and Down Moods

I feel like I am going to go crazy half the time because one minute I am in a depressive state where I feel as if I am never going to get better, that I don't want to go to school or work, all I want to do is lay in bed, don't care to eat as much or I eat a lot and don't care, don't shower, barely anything really. Then there are those times when I feel like nothing is wrong with me, that I want to eat really healthy, I want to take really good care of myself, I want to do well in school and have a good job. It's crazy. Like for instance lately I haven't been really take care of myself. Not showering a lot, brushing teeth, not eating much but drinking a lot of fluid, and just overall not in a good mood. Very tired and just out of it half the time. Well a couple of days ago I decided that I was tired of living like this and I was going to impliment a regime and everything. Showers everyday, teeth brushing twice a day plus flossing, and eating breakfast, getting up in the morning, taking my medicine every night. Well I did really well for about three or four days. I would take a shower at night, brush my teeth, floss, brush my teeth again, then rinse with mouthwash and I would wash my face. I felt good of course I was still sort of sleeping during the day but not as much and i was actually okay. Now I am back to the way things were before those three or four days and I am once again not in the mood to do anything really but lay down and play on my phone and such. I don't know does anyone else have constant up and down moods?

You definitely need to see a therapist and perhaps even be on medication. My therapist whom I saw for some time made me also go on medication because he said I had a severe case of clinical depression (major depressive disorder) so that's what I did, and I'm still on medication today, years later. It keeps me on an even keel so I don't drop into those awful lows or go into the highs either.

Perhaps this is what you need too, but first you need to see a therapist. Your doctor can refer you to a good one. So see your doctor and see what he has to say.

I wish you all the best. Let us know what he says, okay? God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee

Than you for the good wishes
I do plan on seeing another therapists in the near future and I currently am on medication. This is my third medication in a year.

I have moods like this. I've found that writing in a journal can help a little. It allows me to look at my moods objectively and try to get to the root of why I'm feeling the way that I am.

Might try buying a notebook and writing down how you feel. By the time you write out your feelings, they may have passed already.
