What Causes Mood Swings, and Are There Natural Ways to Manage Them? - #15543
Lately, I’ve been experiencing extreme mood swings, and it’s starting to affect my daily life. One moment I feel fine, and the next, I feel irritated, anxious, or even sad for no clear reason. Sometimes, I get these random bursts of energy where I feel super motivated, but within a few hours, I crash and just want to be left alone. I don’t know what’s causing these mood swings, but I’ve started noticing some patterns. They seem worse when I don’t get enough sleep or when I eat a lot of sugary foods. Could diet and sleep actually be affecting my mood this much? I also wonder if hormonal imbalances are playing a role. I’ve read that fluctuations in serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol can contribute to mood swings—is there a way to naturally balance these hormones? I’ve heard that Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Shatavari help with emotional stability—has anyone tried them? Another thing I’m considering is stress management techniques. Would practices like meditation or yoga help stabilize my mood swings? If so, what specific techniques work best? For those who struggle with mood swings, what has helped you manage them? Have you found any specific lifestyle changes, diets, or natural remedies that made a real difference?
