I'm sorry your feeling so "all over the place" emotionally. Whacky hormones can definately do a number on one's mood! I think you are making some really positive steps by tring to journal and incorporating daily exercise. What kind of exercise are you doing? I've been trying to do more yoga lately in the morning and that seems to help me balance my moods somewhat. Also, have you considered seeing a therapist or taking a low dose of an anti-depressant? Sometimes that can really help balance the "highs and lows." Also, what about your diet? Are you watching your sugar/carb intake? I find that if I'm eating to much sugar, the blood sugar high/lows can really mimic the symptoms of anxiety/depression. Just a thought....
