Dealing with mood swings

[General Cucombre]

Wasn't sure which forum to put this in, but I figured I'd probably get the best responses from the more "mature" crowd. Anyways, I'm suffering from mood swings and it's affecting not only my ability to interact with women but life in general. These changes in mood are either totally random or triggered by very trivial events. The worst thing about it is that my moods seem to be co-dependent. If I'm feeling really good for whatever reason, there's a 95% chance that I'd be feeling really sh*tty later on. I guess you could use a drug addict analogy: the higher he gets, the harder the withdrawal symptoms afterward.

So, any thoughts on this? Oh, and medications are out of the question. I'm not interested in trading one problem for another and turning into a f*cking zombie.

Cut the caffeine imediatly. I know several people whose moods sway back and forth with there increased caffeine intake. At first after you stop it will get worse but in 30 days you will feel fantastic.

Eat healthier more whole grains veggies, Cut out simple carbs such as sugar and glucose.

Drink camomile tea or a more relaxing tea.

Excercise 3-5 times a week

Meditate.

most of all just relax.

P.S. Get enough sleep!!
