I would at first look at what is making you moody. Is there something in your life that is not going your way right now? Or can you not attribute this moodiness to anything in particular? If there is something that you can change to make yourself feel happier, then it might be worth trying to achieve it. Perhaps make a list of things you want to do that you think will bring you closer to your goal and then try to work through it systematically.

If you feel moody all the time without any cause, then perhaps talk to a friend or family member that you are closest to. It might just help to get your feelings off your chest. If you keep these feelings to yourself then that can result in speaking out of turn to someone you love, because you haven't had chance to express your emotions in any other way. It will also help them to understand why you have been moody with them in the past-so the benefits work both ways.

Moodiness can also arise from lifestyle- if you eat the wrong things and don't get a lot of exercise then this can make you feel moody too. Take a closer look at your lifestyle and see if there are any changes can make- such as finding things to eat that are feel good foods and increasing your daily exercise routine.
