Is this normal for 15 yr old girl?!
Question: Is this normal for 15 yr old girl?
-I have mood swings. I go from really happy and feeling like I'm amazing, and beautiful, and talented, etc., to thinking I'm worthless and ugly and stupid. Sometimes it's in a matter of minutes, but other times it spans for hours or even days-long moods.
-I never trust anyone anymore, or tell anyone anythingr. This includes everyone-my BFF's and parents.
-My feelings about people I love change constantly. Sometimes I hate my parents so much, but then I love them again and I feel bad for thinking I was mad at them.
-I get angry really, really easily, and occasionally I'll throw or kick something because I just have this uncontrollable anger for no particular reason.
-I started avoiding people at school, and home, and I like being alone more than I do than interacting with people.
-I started cutting my wrist. I's stupid of me, but I can't stop it. I think about suicide a lot, and I wonder if there's a point to me living, or if anyone cares enough about me.
-I feel like I can't control anything about my life, so I started becoming super organized, like OCD-everything has to be exactly straight and in place. I also stopeed eating, which I know is bad, but it's the only thing I can control.
That sort of stuff. I'm terrified something is wrong, am I depressed or something? Please help me, I don't know what's wrong with me.

being fifteen & a sensitive soul is very like this our hormones are raging and many of us hate our parents especially mothers _ I was like this my daughter was the teenager from hell and my granddaughter is just about to join the family trend so wait before you take on a mental health label 15 is a time of unbelievable change especially for a woman so no wonder we are all over the place & what they dont tell you is it all happens again in your fifties - Accept yourself youre allowed to be this way out I think the passage from child to adult is the hardest change we ever make because we do it in consciousness. Accept yourself as you are and see if it calms you down just trying to feel comfortablee in your own skin - at least it shows you have passion for life - enjoy - an d when you are more in the loving mood with your parents reassure them that your love is always there even when youre being a crabbit critter.

Upon consulting a diagnostic manual of mental disorders, it's pretty clear you have Borderline Personality Disorder. This is nothing to be ashamed of, but definitely something you'll want to find a psychologist for. Dialectical behavioral therapy has a high success rate and can help you sort out your self-image, relationship with friends/family/loves, cutting, OCD, and generally help you get back to living a normal, healthy, happy life. Your parents might blame it on hormones but this is definitely Borderline and I would NOT try to wait it out because it can have adverse long-term effects if you let things stay this way.
There is no reason to feel like a freak - an estimate of about 1 in every 50 people will get this at some point in their lives - that said, psychologists will know what to do so I urge you to seek treatment because there's no reason to keep on trying to deal with all this on your own when there has been treatments developed and proven effective which can help you sort your life out.
Good luck!

(I would select either "Child and Adolescent" in the dropdown menu since the teenage years are a pretty unique time and they seem to have left out quite a few categories on the list, including the one which Boderline would fall under. Just tell therapist you are thinking of chatting with that you are worried about having Borderline, they'll know what you're talking about.)

that sound alot like Bipolar disorder, which i have. Talk to a therapist.. try to find one you like and can trust.
if you dont wanna talk to your parents about it, your school probably has a good counseling program, which is usually a great recourse.
try to stop cutting, its a really hard habit to break.
i know saying that wont chance you, so just try to avoid your wrists, its too noticeable, your upper thigh is a much better place.
good luck :)
