Hi Shanti,
I tend to go through these phases, Oscillating between hope and despair (like most of us do I am sure!).Sometimes after all the effort and trying to better myself i just run out of steam  .Then arise these questions!.What is the purpose of 'Being' ?Why are we so messed up?why is there always a mountain to climb?
Why so much baggage? why so serious?! |

Well as you said, it is normal to go though phases like this.
Are you into any kind of spiritual practice? Do you meditate?

Well its not "ramblings" at all... we have all been through these ups and downs... and when down.. well it's not fun.
So you know about self pacing right? Make sure you do some self pacing when going through a low.
You are going through some purification... and this will pass. Till then, go out and do something fun.. watch a movie with friends, play with kids, talk to non-spiritual friends, being from India, I am sure you do walk a lot , if not, go on walks.. eat heavier... do grounding stuff. Do stuff that will take you mind off this low phase. Since you know it's a cycle... this low will be gone very soon... and as you continue with your practice... the highs and lows will become lesser and lesser.
The less you allow your mind to make stories about your low phase, the faster you will be out of this phase...keep reminding yourself "it is just a phase and it will be gone real soon". The easiest way (esp. in the beginning) to stop the mind from spinning stories is to distract it with something else.
Hope this helps.
Wish you a quick "out" from this low phase.
