Why Sometimes I Feel Low In Myself And Cry All Day Without Any Reason?

Hi i would like to ask you if you have any idea as to what the matter is with me as i have been struggling with this for a while and am slighty scared of going to se my doctor... Sometimes i feel like i cant cope with life anymore, i feel absoloutley useless and so low in myself, i will sit and cry all day, but yet i dont know why??? there are days where i feel high as a kite, and just feel the need to enjoy myself, but this is a massive problem as i am almost getting myself into serious debts for this, i cannot stop myself from spending stupid amounts of money on stupid things, i just like the feeling afterwards, then a few days later, it all dawns back on me?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I went through your query. From what you have mentioned, it seems that you are having frequent fluctuations in mood manifested by a low phase and a high phase. In the low phase, you feel low, and have decreased self confidence. In the high phase, you feel elated and even overspend. These frequent fluctuations of mood can be due to an underlying mood disorder termed cyclothymia.

I would suggest that you should seek a psychiatric consultation for complete evaluation. A thyroid profile might also be required as hypothyroidism can often manifest as such symptoms. In case you are diagnosed with a mood disorder, mood stabilisers like valproate or lithium would be helpful in controlling your symptoms.

I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
