Does being SMO make you have extreme mood swings?
Not looking for medical advice but your experiences as a SMO or ex-SMO person.
Basically, I am incredibly moody and irritable. Then a few hours later I might be alright but still quite snappy. However, I have periods of depression and then I've been ok, more depression and then ok, etc. This has been going on for many years - since 2012 time I believe. In 2012, I was 12/13 years old.
When I was a child (about 9 years old) I would have bad intrusive thoughts and the psychiatrist said it may be bipolar. However, then he concluded it was OCD. He missed the fact that I had ASD though.
I'm kind of going a tangent, but does being SMO affect your mood really badly? I'm sick of being SMO, but at the same time it's like I now know no difference. I am considering having surgery but I once went through a time where I one meal a day and lost a lot of weight because I forced myself to barely eat.
My GP has referred me to a hormone clinic for females in London. There's about a years wait. I also have no thyroid anymore because I had thyroid cancer.
What's your mental health like as a SMO person?
