Things which are wrong and to one's own disadvantage are easily enough done, while what is both good and advantageous is extremely hard to do.

Not seeking help when you know you need it, and managing moods instead, sounds like a band-aid solution (if it will even work). As someone who has gone through the "seeking help" part, I cannot stress enough how important it is for one to find the courage to do so where it most certainly would have a benefit.
No matter how hard it might seem now and in the future to find the courage, to look back at where you are now from a position in which you have at least partly resolved your issues, you might find yourself one day wondering why you didn't seek help sooner.
And you aren't ever alone, despite what you might think: We all fear the unknown. We all have our challenges.
By the sound of it, you aren't merely "moody."
