Sudden mood swings?!


Question: I don't know how to handle this. Please don't make fun of me. I have sudden mood swings more and more frequently lately. I'll be happy and withen minutes I suddenly feel like crying and I can't pin point why. NO I am NOT pregnant lol. I don't know how to handle it, I've been having suicidal thoughts lately, but nothing I would ever go through with because I have two beautiful children I love dearly. I just don't know how to be happy anymore. I considered medication but I am kind of scared of that because my brother had a bad experience coming off of an anti depressant where he tried to commit suicide. I don't want to be dependant on something or have any experiences like him. What should I do?

Yes, anti-depressants can cause problems.... but what are your options?

Get in touch with your doctor-- regular family doctor-- he/she may have some suggestions, ways to help you moderate your brain chemistry... ways that may not include medication.

You must go and talk to someone, you may not even need that kind of medication and even if you do there is loads of options and the could be a hundred reasons you feel this way.

You should probably talk to someone and go to a doctor. I have anxiety and depression and so does my mom, my mom actually also has slight OCD, PTSD, and seizures. Antidepressants work differently with everyone and I have a lot of depression in my family but maybe you need to get on some antidepressants. Hope this helps.
