Mood Wheel


Boys have it easy. Except for adolescence, boys don't have to deal with an ongoing roller coaster of hormones throughout their lives that means each day brings a new mood adventure.

The cycle is always in flux, it changes with age and there's no warning. "Please note, in approximately 10-15 days you're going to start to feel some mild depression - more like a harmless mope. Remember, it's only temporary and due to an ongoing hormone shift. Thank you and good day."

Or it could just as easily be a notice that in a few days I'll feel especially giddy and that I should take full advantage of the goofy moments because those hormones will start to subside a day or two later. I'd like to know why it happens and have some forewarning. Just like the weather.
