How often do you experience mood swings, your symptoms nd how do you control it?

Mood swings are sudden changes in one's emotions. People can change from being happy to being sad in a Twink of an eye without a particular reason. Consciously or not people's mood changes, these changes may last up to a minute, a day, or weeks depending on how one can control them. Some believe it is a sign of depression.


I experience mood swings at least 3 times a week, this happens wherever I am idle, or alone. When the mood changes I tend to be very quiet, depressed, and lonely, and my food cravings increases, sometimes my mood swing got me thinking about life in general and what I should have achieved if given the opportunity. Sometimes I find myself daydreaming about the future 😅😂😂.

I control my mood swings majorly because it doesn't only affect me but also affects my entire day and people close to me, I hate to see people suffer or be unhappy because of me.
What I do is, listen to music, watch videos, be optimistic and motivate myself, go for a walk and force myself to talk to people around me. This has helped me overcome my mood swings, I hope it helps you too.

Going on hikes, some light exercise, skateboarding, reading, etc. Just take a deep breath and try to relax.

you are almost the same as me. if there is a change of heart to be sad, I daydream about the future. but I always quickly get rid of these thoughts, and immediately think positively and then watch comedy videos or chat with people closest to me, so that I can reduce my sadness.

Well I do not get a lot of mood swings. But when I do I have the best way for me to control it.  I like to practice meditation so I can avoid letting myself get so upset from mood swings.

If I have meditated I tend to let the anger pass through me. I will observe it but I do not let it control my behavior. If I haven’t meditated sometimes I count to ten or even 100 and then I usually find myself more detached and less affected by my negative circumstances.
