Suggest Ways To Deal With Extreme Mood Swings

Hello, I am almost 21, I am female & I live in the UK. I am needing some information just to settle my mind. Throughout the day I have various mood swings & they can change instantaneously. On a night I am unable to sleep & I constantly think & overthink about things that stress and worry me. I am completely at breaking point and I m scared I am pushing my partner away. I love him dearly but I find it hard to come to terms with things he s done in the past (before our relationship), I will be so happy & loving one minute & the next I will resent him and wonder what I am doing. He is not a bad person but I seem to be so secluded due to my own fault. I am so insecure some days and others I am so confident, my moods are so crazy I just feel like I am insane. Last November I went on the contraceptive injection & I feel as if it could have been that which has triggered my mood swings off. Each time I lay down recently since November I have a strong smell of marzipan and I just don t know why! I feel like my mind is playing tricks on me and I just feel like I need to cry! Please give me some clue of what is wrong, thanks in advance Chloe

Hello,

The issue of extreme mood swings are in concern with underlying mood disorder with some depressive episodes intermittently. You definitely need a consultation with an expert psychiatrist or Psychologist for the same and get necessary guidelines. Usual modes of therapy include:
- Behavior therapy
- Suggestion therapy to change life style and attitude
- Cognitive therapy
- Supportive selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors to calm the mind
- Avoidance of any stimulant drugs such as marijuana or else consumed
- Avoidance of excess alcohol, smoking if involved
- Balanced nutritious diet to combat best immunity system

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
