It may be worth getting a glucose meter and checking your blood sugar, particularly when you have a mood swing or feeling very tense.
After thinking for years that I had some weird combination of my Father's hot temper and my own variety of madness, I found that my anxiety, mood swings, etc. were virtually all the result of hypoglycaemia. I do have a hot temper, but I can manage that so easily now.
Your brain runs on the sugar in your blood and if there isn't enough of it then it seems to get in a constant fight or flight mode. If you are having hypos then the meter will show your blood sugar is low when you are most anxious or tense.
I take medication for hypoglycaemia now and I'm a different person. If you don't want to take medication then hypoglycemia can be controlled by diet fairly successfully by someone willing to be very careful about their diet. |
