What Mood Are You In?

A

Are you ok? You seem a bit anxious.

B

Yeah I’m OK, I have been having a lot of mood swings lately. I think it has to do with the pills my doctor prescribed that are causing chaos on my hormones.

A

So you mean you feel ecstatic one minute and then blue the next?

B

Yeah, it’s weird. For example just this morning I was feeling detached and lonely, even though there was really no reason to feel that way.

A

Well, maybe your mood will swing positively and you will feel confident, brave and hopeful!

B

I hope you are right.
