If you don't have issues in ur life that need dealing with it could be your hormoans are not level and are unbalanced if this keeps happening go and see your doc. You are still really young so it might just be ur hormoans leveling out. Hope you feel better soon.

my thoughts



its calle being a teenager ha. its hormomones. im a guy...i usually dont cry but im super super moody sometimes. sometimes im happy other times im super pissed off. and other times i feel like whats the point of living my life sucks ***. (deppressed ha) but nothings wrong with you i dont think. i would just say its hormones and being a teenager:)



i think i use to feel like that, its properly something in your life make sure there is nothing interfering in your life that is negative find it if you can or u can talk to a professorial but never result to anything drastic.



Mild depression



lol coz u iz emo and prob cozz your not in kitchen fetching sandwiches for the greater males



First thing, get yourself to the doctors and explain how you're feeling. I know it might be difficult to talk to a complete stranger but you probably need some sort of medication. It could be hormonal - i went through a stage in my teens where I cried everyday for no apparant reason, as soon as i got put on birth control I felt like myself again. It could also be mild depression, which is very common especially in young women.
Get a blood test to check all your vitamin levels are normal. B vitamin deficiencies and anemia can make you very tired and effect your mood.


Are you getting any exercise or since you are studying do you like most student spend alot of time sat at a desk? I cannot recommend enough the benfits of exercise. Exercise releases serotonin, endorphins, adrenaline and dopamine. These chemicals all work together to make you feel good. In addition, after exercising you may feel a sense of accomplishment and your muscles will relax deeper because of the workout – easing tension and strain.


Try changing your diet it can definately affect mood (there have been lots of studies on it).
Fish oils contain omega-3 fatty acids. Research has shown that depressed people often lack a fatty acid known as EPA.
Brown Rice contains vitamins B1 and B3, and folic acid. Brown rice is also a low-glycemic food, which means it releases glucose into the bloodstream gradually, preventing sugar lows and mood swings.
Serotonin is made in the body and brain from an amino acid 5-Hydroxy Tryptophan (5-HTP), which in turn in made from another amino acid called tryptophan. Both can be found in the diet; tryptophan in many protein rich foods such as meat, fish, beans and eggs, while the richest source of 5-HTP is the African Griffonia bean. Just not getting enough tryptophan is likely to make you depressed.

You should also avoid caffeine, and foods high in fat and sugar.

Get plenty of sunshine. Natural sunlight is a proven cure for low mood or depression because it gets vitamin D into you.

The pressure of studying for exams is high, especially if you need good A-Levels to go on to university. Without you realising it, the stress can affect you in lots of ways. It may just be anxiety, but if you go to the doctors they will be able to tell you. Your college/sixth form will have some sort of support for anxiety as it's not uncommon in people in their mid-late teens.

I have been diagnosed with depression a few times, and anxiety in the last few months (the stress of my final year at uni).
