Random depressing moods?!
Question: Random depressing moods?
Well basically I will be feeling fine, then I will start to feel a little down and fatigued, get a little brain fog, and sometimes I just go into a depressing mood with so many negative thoughts. Sometimes I will feel like crying, other times I will just feel alone and weak and helpless. I really have no clue what this is or what's causing it. Hormones? I really have no clue. Luckily I do have random moods where I'm very happy, but those aren't common, but I'm glad they even happen. Hope I don't sound like an Emo or something Lol, I'm just not sure what this is. I think it can be brought on by thoughts, like thinking of stressful situations. Maybe because soon I will be having to get a job and do my exams etc.
Do you guys have any idea of what it could be? Could it just be because I'm a teenager?

There are so many diagnoses out there, everyone thinks they have one and the pharmaceutical companies are making so much money.
Okay, you hit the nail on the head. It IS thoughts!!! Were told from a young age to think think think, but really that will make you crazy, too much of it. Too many racing thoughts, ugh.
Meditation is the only thing that ever helped me stop freaking thinking so much. It teaches you to clear your head of thoughts. It teaches you to acknowledge thoughts, not try to ignore them, but to also recognize them as just your brain nagging you again, no need to give them any importance. It is easy to do once you practice a little.
If you exercise every day, walk or jog outside, you will feel so much better too.
You're right exactly- when stressful thoughts come, say "I hear you but I choose to believe/think of something else instead!" And then do!
And meditate regularly.
If you try this I promise you will feel better and your life will get better. You are NOT your thoughts. you are that exciting, beautiful joyful person that you were before you were born and you will always be. This darn brain just gets in the way..
Maybe from hormones, but you probably can be bipolar too
You are probably bipolar
i think its just you being a stressed teenager
