Hello doctors. I have mood swings, I guess? Most of the time, I dont even realize the shift, but it definitely exists. There are days when I feel like a God, massive ego, laughing and happy for no apparent reason. Like happiness becomes my neutral mood, instead of actual neutrality. I remember saying things like "Life has no bad days, just average days" in one of these "happy" months. But then suddenly, life is the worst, I have no interest in anything, anything I pick up and pursue, I lose interest in it after a few days, I dont feel well, I get extremely low self esteem, where the smallest comment will have me crying for hours, and then thinking about it for days.
How do I deal with these mood swings? Im currently going through the sadder phase of my life. A little background- I have PCOD, a general physician gave me anxiety medicines once because of my symptoms, the main symptom was constant lightheadedness.
Something upsetting happened day before yesterday, I have migraines too

Hi, how are you? Thanks for reaching out. What you’re describing sounds more than just ordinary mood swings, especially because there are prolonged phases of unusually high confidence, happiness and ego, followed by phases of low mood, loss of interest and extreme sensitivity. Hormonal factors like PCOD can affect mood, but I would not blame everything on hormones or anxiety without properly understanding your mood pattern.
Please start tracking your mood, sleep, energy and impulsivity daily. A proper psychological and psychiatric assessment would be helpful to rule out a mood disorder or bipolar-spectrum pattern. Don’t self-diagnose, but don’t ignore these shifts either.
