Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I notice that on the days I’ve slept badly or skipped lunch, the smallest thing sets me off and I take hours to come back down
- I run on autopilot from morning till I crash at night, and if you stopped me midday and asked how I’m feeling I’d genuinely have no idea
- My moods seem to come out of nowhere
- On the nights I barely sleep or forget to eat, the smallest thing sets me off and a normal day flattens me
- Something just got to me in the middle of my day and I can feel myself reacting, but I’ve only got a couple of minutes before I have to keep going
