Oh my goodness, yes! Mood swings. I am the poster child for mood swings.
Actually I can't be jokey about them. My 'down' days a very, very down and bleak. I feel hopeless and despairing inside, with an awful sinking sensation inside and it's really horrible

Then I can wake up the very next morning feeling drained but very much brighter and full of optimism and giggling with my husband over something silly on TV.
When they first started happening I thought I was going insane. And my 'down days' really frightened me because I had never felt so bleak and low before in my life. Except for when I had PND, and that was when I began to wonder if maybe my hormone were again to blame?
I have just started HRT and my GP assures me that my mood swings should stop being so extreme as the HRT should give me a higher 'base line' below which my mood shouldn't dip.
Here's hoping...
