Cyclothymia??

[HannahL94]

In the last few months I've noticed I'll unexpectedly for no reason slip into a really bad mood. My partner will thing I've taken the hump with him but it's not him at all.. there's no reason for it, little things will start annoying me and suddenly it's everything. These often last for varying lengths of time from 20 mins -2hrs. I'll feel normal again but then start to feel guilty for being short with everyone.

I go through phases of being sociable and then I'll be really unsociable for a couple of months.. not keeping in touch with people and cancelling on plans.

I'll also be really up for doing something e.g.: a walk or cinema but when it comes to going I'll get moody and if given the option I'd not go.

My get up and go changes with the wind.

Today I left work, phoned my partner and was in a really good mood. When I got home my mood instantly changed to bad and to the point I was tearing up/ crying for no reason ?? My partner phoned me once I was home and all I had for him was one word answers. 10 mins later I immediately felt guilty and text him to say sorry for being grumpy.

I'm now starting to feel normal again.. ?!

It's a condition I don't know much about but could be an explanation for mood swings. If there is no apparent reason for mood swings go see doctor to discuss. It might help to keep a mood diary for a few days so you can go over it with doctor. There maybe another cause which isn't mental health such as thyroid, vit deficiency so important see doctor. Once spoken to them you will have a better idea of what's next. Post on site for info etc. I'm sure others may have a better understanding of the condition.

I suggest maybe having a full set of blood test relating to the endocrine system.
