Behold! The Top 5 Fixes to Weird Mood and/or Thoughts. While there are other reasons why you may have weird moods or thoughts, these are the most common reasons, in order, why they occur.
1) Meds
Did you take your medication?
* If you forgot, then this is the most likely reason why your thoughts and mood are weird
2) Food
Do you need to eat, or did you eat the wrong thing?
* Your body runs on the ingredients that you ingest. If you haven’t eaten for more than a few hours (3 to 4) for most people, you may be running low on blood sugar and ingredients. Go eat something with a bit of sugar, carbohydrates and nutrition.
* Your body may be intolerant of certain foods. If you accidentally ate one of those, then that is likely mucking up your body. Your brain is part of your body, and your brain does the thinking and feeling…
3) Fatigue
Do you need to sleep or take a break?
* If you haven’t slept well, then you are running on fumes. Go take a nap.
* People who are managing chronic pain, mental health or complex social situations are expending more energy to maintain a calm front than people who aren’t dealing with these things. You may be very tired and need to take a break.
4) Sensory
Is the environment too hectic or still?
* Over or under stimulation can begin to trigger your defensive mechanisms. Identifying which way this has gone helps you address that.
5) Threat
Is there a clear and present danger?
* Sometimes there is a threat we need to take care of. It is the least likely scenario, but it may be the situation here, so we should check it.
* If the threat isn’t clear and present, if you have to find it beyond your immediate environment, or spend a while to explain why that is a threat, it probably isn’t.
