Mood and Trauma Disorders Are Temporary

Having a mood disorder does NOT mean you are crazy. It means you are a normal, feeling person who can benefit from speaking with a licensed therapist—someone who can help you process your emotions during a particular period of time.

Whatever you are thinking or feeling right now is temporary. It does NOT have power over you. You have the power within you to deal with your negative thoughts and feelings and to come out on the other side healthier and stronger because of the trauma you have experienced.

Never let anyone make you feel that there is something wrong with you. Give yourself the compassion and encouragement you would give a dear friend who is experiencing the same issues that you are.

Understanding Mood Disorders

An estimated 21% of Americans experience a mood disorder at some time in their lives. 

  • Persistent Sadness: Ongoing feelings of sadness, anxiety, or emptiness.
  • Hopelessness and Low Self-Esteem: A sense of hopelessness, helplessness, worthlessness, or excessive guilt.
  • Loss of Interest: Reduced interest in activities once enjoyed, including sex.
  • Sleep and Appetite Changes: Disruptions in sleep patterns (insomnia or oversleeping) and changes in appetite or weight.
  • Energy and Focus Issues: Decreased energy, trouble concentrating, and difficulty making decisions.
  • Physical Complaints: Persistent physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches.
  • Relationship Problems: Struggles in maintaining healthy relationships and heightened sensitivity to rejection.
  • Irritability and Aggression: Increased irritability, hostility, or aggressive behavior.
  • Suicidal Thoughts: Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (Note: Seek immediate help if experiencing these symptoms).

Recognizing these symptoms is an important step toward seeking help and improving mental health. If you experience these symptoms, you might be dealing with a mood disorder. The feelings associated with mood disorders are usually more intense and persistent than typical mood fluctuations and can disrupt daily life and relationships.
