Why do I have such a big crash in moods?
Question:
Answers:
You say that you have anunder active thyroid(hypothroidism) and anemia. Is this being treatment with medication like synthroid medication after having a blood testmfor it and having lab work for your anemia? Symptoms of low thyroid is having symptoms of fatique, weight gain because your metabolism is sluggish, and depression. Some symptoms of anemia are variable. Some are somewhat like the ones of slow thyroid also, you will more than likely be tired and sluggish, weight problems, possibly from the lack of minerals in your body,and more than likely, moodly from the lack of what the body needs to function. The dislike of yourself could be from the loss of your ability to function as normally as you once did. The crash and burn sessions that you experience is not what you are accustomed to have had before these problems begain. You did not express your age to the readers. Also sometimes, other persons donot understand what is causing you do be like you did at one time. They probably believe that you should "snap out of it" and be the way that you use to be.Number one that I suggest is to ignor the negative remarts if you canbecause you wont be able to do until you seek medical attention. If you have not seen your primary care doctor or go to the clinic, or try a walk in daytime care facility. You definitely require lab tests to determine your medical problems and have the correct medicines for the low thyroid and the anemia. If your body is not functioning properly then other things begin to fail also. It is not uncommon to acquire signs of depression. Some doctors or even research will show that if your thyroid problems are in slow range that depression is a very likely symptom. I would discuss this problem with the doctor about the mood changes and the highs and lows you are having. Some councelling would be a positive aid in the problems you are having. This would be something that you would benefit from and ignor people that are negative about your good intentions to help yourself mentally and physically.

Try to eat balanced meals at regular times of the day. Sometimes when your blood sugars go up and down it can affect your mood. Also, try taking St Johns Wort. It is a herbal rememedy. Check with your doctor first though if you are taking other medication. Also try evening primrose oil. Other than that you could try yoga or other forms of meditation.
