5 Reasons You’re Always in a Bad Mood

Updated: Aug 3, 2019


Has anyone ever asked you, “Are you in a bad mood or something?” or maybe, “Are you tired? You seem mad.” Everyone can catch a bad mood every now and again, but it's unhealthy to feel stuck with them...

“There is a correlation between the severity of a person’s moods and a lack of self-knowledge.” ― Jill Alexander Essbaum, Hausfrau

"I remember in high school and early college, I always felt like being in a bad mood was just my normal. It could have been a sad mood, an angry mood, a hormonal mood, a stressed mood, or all of the above but I had no clue. I had no idea what I was feeling or why, and so I felt lost as a teenager and very young adult.

It wasn't until I became a psychology major and became so involved in mental health and therapy that I realized I could gain control and understanding of... my life, basically. After researching emotion, coping skills, and self-care I began to understand the importance of journaling and emotional intelligence as treatment aids in mental health management.


That's why I started creating the fun mood trackers, to help myself and others manage mental health in a unique and creative way! Now, I stop using the umbrella term "bad mood" when I feel low. My emotions, moods, routines, self-care, and stressors are easily tracked throughout the week so I can spot patterns or triggers. I learned how to take charge of my moods and emotions, so can you." -Kay Uimari

5 Reasons You’re Always in a Bad Mood

1. Have you been complaining a lot lately? Complaining may seem to be the reaction we have to our bad moods. In reality, counting our losses instead of our blessings is often the cause of bad moods! See Why: How Gratitude Improves Your Mental Health

2. Sleep impacts our energy levels, moods, and even mental clarity! Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, or you’ll end up grumpy all day. Set an alarm in the morning and at night so you can give yourself enough time to get ready for waking up and bedtime.

3. Chronic stress can lead to major sleep, heart, digestive, and a plethora of other health conditions. But did you know, stress can cause a bad mood hours or even days after the stressful event! Reflect on the stress in your life and how you choose to manage it. See Also: The Ultimate Stress Management Grocery List

4. One type of intelligence that is downplayed way too often is emotional intelligence. Being able to recognize, review, and gain control of your emotions will have a tremendous effect on your happiness and well-being!

5. How much time during the day (or week) are you taking for yourself? Set aside time for self-care, so your mental health can thrive (and even repel bad moods!). See How: Self-Care- Planning Ahead
