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?
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 cyclothymic. 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 stabilizers like valproate or lithium would be helpful in controlling your symptoms. I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
