Stress Center Peer Support

Yesterday I felt very irritated, and I couldn't pin point a good reason why. Then later on in the day, I wanted to see the guy I like, and I met him at the mall. I felt like crying because I knew I couldn't stay with him long, because I had to go to class. I felt very depressed thinking that after class I had nothing to do, and had to go home. Being bored makes me feel very depressed. So I went from being very annoyed to feeling very depressed. How can I control my mood swings better?

Hi Katie_Lee! I'm sorry that you had a bad day but keep in mind that everyone has those bad days! I, too, feel very irritated sometimes and upset some days, and I have NO IDEA why!! Then I'll feel happy again and I'll say to myself:"Everything will be OK!" Then I just remember that good feeling that I had and when I feel bad again, I'll remember that feeling! Do you participate ion any sports? Do you have a hobby that you like to do? Because when you're bored just find or do an activity that you like to do! I know! I know! You've probably heard this a million times, but when you're bored, go out and take a walk or exercise! I hope this helps!
Sincerely,
PF
