Hi Dawn,

Experiencing mood swings like that can definitely be challenging, especially when they seem to come out of nowhere. Since you can't shake the thoughts of past mistakes when they come, would it be possible for you to try redirecting your thoughts? For instance, you could try thinking about what you learned from the mistake and how it led to growth or a different path. If that doesn't work, or if you feel like it might create more anxiety for you, you can also try practicing self-care in the moments that you feel anxious. Since you don't have a lot of energy when you're anxious, you could try something calming like watching a favorite TV show, coloring a picture, or taking a bath. While doing something to take care of yourself won't necessarily get rid of the anxious feelings, it can add a calming element to your environment, which could help the anxiety feel more mild.

I hope this helped! Please let me know if you need any more suggestions or if you'd like to talk about this in more detail!

Take care,
Sam
