× Umm, it depends on my mood, I don't really eat sweets every day umm, it's usually when I'm down or feel sad Umm I.
✓ Umm, it depends on my mood, I don't really eat sweets every day umm, it's usually when I'm down or feeling sad.
The verb 'feel' should be in the -ing form 'feeling' to correctly follow the structure 'when I'm down or feeling sad', indicating simultaneous states or ongoing feelings.
× Umm, it depends on my mood, I don't really eat sweets every day umm, it's usually when I'm down or feel sad Umm I.
✓ Umm, it depends on my mood. I don't really eat sweets every day; umm, it's usually when I'm down or feeling sad.
The original sentence is a run-on sentence lacking proper punctuation and conjunctions. Splitting into separate sentences and using a semicolon improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Umm, because it was umm, tough times back.
✓ Umm, because those were tough times back then.
The phrase 'tough times back' is incomplete and ungrammatical. Using 'those were tough times back then' correctly uses past tense and clarifies the time reference.
