Your ability to put and keep the frustrations, upsets and disappointments in a 'this too shall pass' perspective isn't working.
You're taking in negative energy from your environment in the form of criticism, rejection, bullying or teasing. There may be a genetic tendency toward mood disorders in your family. 'A bad mood can be contributed to by biological, social and/or psychological factors.'
Goulston adds that there can be genetic factors at work too. 'These temporary emotional states can be caused by a range of factors, from what we eat and how we sleep, to challenging experiences that we encounter in daily life, including the endless barrage of negative information that we take in through social media and the 24/7 news cycle,' Dahl explains.
