Whats wrong here!!?? HELP?!
Question: I dont wana waste money on a shrink if I dont have to...Ok heres the gist of it: For weeks, after something good happens (Christmas 4 ex.) Ill be so happy that I feel like everything is perfect in my life. Sometimes I get this way for no reason at all. I am just unbearably happy!
Then something bad will happen...usually something small, like getting in a small argument, or an overdraft at the bank, sometimes for no really apparent reason, I get VERY upset to the point of not caring about my own life. When I get in these moods, the only reason I stay alive is for the people in my life who luv me & would be sad if I was not around. Wen these moods strike, I dont care about things the way I normally would, not my job, money, health, showering (i force myself to get in every day), waking up is hard, my usual 'gym rat' habits die completely, and my food habits get wierd (I only want fast food or candy and chips.does this happen 2 everyone sometimes??? is it normal to feel this way??

No it's not normal to feel that way and to have such severe mood swings. It sounds like you might have bi-polar disorder and that can't be cured but it can be stabilized with therapy and medication. You should check with your general practitioner and get their opinion. But if it's found out that you do have bi-polar disorder you will need psychiatric help.
yes, see a psychiatrist as soon as you can that is far from normal.
wow I so know how you feel
you could just be an emotional person
or it could be as serious as bi polar
but I really think its just hormones, emotions, and sometimes we don't know how to control them. Try yoga and meditation when you get cranky to find your centre and create some balance in your life.
See your doctor, it could be depression.
i dont know if its normal but it happens to me too and the things that keep me happy are my friends, which i see like once every two weeks and i get bet up in school, i also tried suicied. My sullution, get some great freinds and ask them for help, if it dosent help get a cheep but effective shrink
your not crazy. trust me your just an emotional person and show it. sometimes i get upset over small stuff when im having the best day ever it can totally ruin my mood. i never dont care about showering and my food. but everyone handles situations different. i highly doubt your bipolar. a shrink may be able to help you with how to handle this stuff though. if its really horriable and things get to you to bad i would suggest going. nobody should live depressed
good luck=]
You can go and see you regular doctor, explain the symptoms to him. He can script you for meds he finds fitting or he may send you to a phych doc. Either way you will get the help you need. You may have a mood disorder, like bipolar or you could simply be depressed. Either way the proper meds will keep these things at bay.
It is normal to get upset about things but if you feel that your mood swings are controlling your life and habits to the point that it is detrimental then definetly seek help. I must admit that it does sound a bit extreme if small things really affect you, maybe you need some kind of counselling to help you deal with things better. It sounds like you are really being affected by it tho so u should probably take action. Someone once said to me that people have already made their minds up about things without realising it, they just want people to reassure them what they think is right, i hope u feel better soon x
Like all of the other answers, who told you to go see a sychiatrists, i will not, because you said you do not want to see one. Whenever i feel sad, no matter how sad i feel, i go in my room, shut the door, and turn on my ipod. I love music, and it really helps me. I can see your sadness is much worse than mine, and i want you to think for a minute. Has anything in your life ever happend that would cause you to be a very emotianl perosn? For ex. when i was a child, i nearly died by chocking on a hotdog. now whenever i even see a hotdog i flip out. Also, you said what keeps you alive are the people who love you. If they love you that much, talk to them. I'm sure they can help you. Never forget those people that love you, and they are what keep us ALL alive. Good luck..if you need to talk...email me,,,im serious
