Daily Life - What Mood Are You In? (C0362)

A: Are you ok? You seem a bit anxious.

B: Yeah I’m OK, I have been having a lot of mood

swings lately. I think it has to do with the pills my

doctor prescribed that are causing chaos on my

hormones.

A: So you mean you feel ecstatic one minute and

then blue the next?

B: Yeah, it’s weird. For example just this morning

I was feeling detached and lonely, even though

there was really no reason to feel that way.

A: Well, maybe your mood will swing positively and

you will feel confident, brave and hopeful!

B: I hope you are right.
