From experience could it possibly be a medication you are taking? I used to take epilim but made me very low and high in mood at times. Like on a roller coaster. Tried different meds at the time and found lamotrogine was best and didn’t get feelings of high and low anymore. The epilim was making my moods swing like crazy. Maybe could be one of your meds doing the same? Just a thought. Hope you get something sorted out.
