Hi,

It sounds like you are definitely suffering from low mood and you should go and see your GP about it, there are lots of ways to treat low mood and depression so there is no guarantee you'll be put on medication as it is only used for clinical depression, but your GP should guide you in the right direction, the most important thing when you are feeling like this is to talk about your emotions in a safe and non-judgemental environment, which is usually with a counsellor which your GP can refer you to. It can be really difficult and uncomfortable to take this step but believe me it is worth it.

Take care.

hi

if you have been properly diagnosed (by your GP) then, you need to speak to them about sorting your medication out right. if you take your meds then they will help to get your mood swings under control. Try to give or do something nice for yourself every day. Maybe it will help to a) give you something to look forward to and b) be a little prize for getting on with your day. If you are aware of your actions enough that you know you are not being nice then you can change them. I find that I know when I am starting to go downwards and so I make myself extra aware of my behaviour towards others. When speaking to people I always remind myself that they to might be fighting a great battle that I know nothing about - they might be having a bad day too, so the least I can do is treat them how I would like them to treat me. with kindness!
