Is A Bad Mood Trying To Tell You Something?

Embrace Your Bad Moods


We’d love to be happy-go-lucky all the time, but bad moods are natural -- and inevitable.

When the clouds roll in, there’s no need to beat yourself up about it. Regular ups and downs are part of your mind’s natural process -- and can be a great opportunity for growth. "All of our emotional states, all of our mood states, have to play a role that is beneficial to us or they would never have survived evolution," says Markman. "If you wake up one day feeling stressed or sad, ask yourself, 'Is this [feeling] trying to tell me something?'"

 

Some mental health professionals believe that’s exactly what a mood depression is meant to do: Tell you something. During a depression, you tend to slow down, withdraw and ruminate, giving you time and space to identify a problem in your life. Getting back on track requires that you start thinking and behaving in new ways, challenging you to grow and change.
