Is This Considered Mood Swings? I Do Not Want To Do Something, Then Just A While Later I Can Do It With No Problems.

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I had to make lunch today, I did not do it right away. Then I just sat down and browsed my phone and I felt like “oh, I can do it” as if it was so easy and I prepared it. Then again, I was lying around not wanting to do anything then I felt that I can go and serve lunch (for family) and I did it. Then I lied down again not wanting to do anything. Its like grumpy-happy cycle or something

I'd think it was a mild bout of Depression.. I say that because I never feel like doing anything, until I feel like doing it which happens a lot less lately.. I lose interest in so many things when I'm depressed. It isn't always sadness and crying, sometimes we just don't feel like doing anything, even if it is making lunch. I sometimes get these random bouts of wanting to do things though.. so to answer your question, I guess it could be a small mood swing..

It might be low energy due to insulin resistance, plus low motivation-- which happens to us all btw. You'll be okay. Be kind to yourself

Thx for the answer. Hmmm. From what I heard (and mostly read) about depression is that it is feeling like someone do not want to live, losing motivation and stuff like that.
I don’t know~ I am not so gloomy, well, I do feel sad sometimes. I am a procrastinator after all. And I do feel happy and laugh alot. I am to be described lazy but idk.
Aah~ indeed. As much as I remeber (3 years ago) I found that I have low magnesium levels~ I did not increase it much since then I guess. It relates to depression and neurotransmitters or something like that. Interesting.
I do not lose interest in searching about stuff and reading about them tho.
The thing I knew about depression is from a game called depression. At some points I related from a past experience or just did not related to it.

Hmmmmmmm, insulin resistance and low magnesium levels, alongside low sodium and potassium (the fuel of body and brain) and a slow metabolizer. Thats me (as much as I know since 2017)
I talk too much. Sorry.
Mild mood swings, eh~? I suspected that. Not so emotional but not so “NO I DO NOT WANT TO!!!”..well, maybe more than average of the latter one.
