Sometimes people tell me that I did things that I don't remember doing, same with some of the things I say, or places I've been.
Such as my last birthday, it was in december, my mom asked me a few days ago if I liked the restaurant that we went to for my birthday and I had no recollection of celebrating my birthday at all :\
I aslo have no memories of my childhood before I was nine, but I don't know if that has anything to do with anything.
Thanks again for the support, it's good to know that someone understands 
amandalouise- Please, please don't automatically attribute all this to my being a teenager. My mom does that and it kills me because everything I go through everyday cannot be pushed aside and blamed on 'teenage hormones'.
Just because we are younger doesn't mean we can't have the same problems as adults, it's just easier to ignore with teens because people have something to blame it on. That's not right. Someone could have a serious problem, a teen could be chronically depressed and their parents could blame their 'moodiness' on puberty. Until something serious happens and they try to commit suicide.
As with me, suicidal thoughts, having someone else inside my head, and constantly wanting to bring a blade to my skin are NOT normal "growing up things", they are serious problems that I have to suffer through everday, and they should be taken into account and not shoved aside with a flimsy excuse like everyone loves so much to do.
So please, don't tell me what I am feeling is "normal", this is the worst thing you could possibly say to me right now, it practically robs me of all hope that there is something better than this, and it is ridiculously ignorant of how I feel living like this. It oversimplifies everything and says "if others can deal, so can you."
I wasn't expecting to be diagnosed when I came here, I was looking for some support and understanding. And if I could see a doctor, I already would have, seeing as in my post I wrote that I want help, but I don't know how to get it. If I had a doctor, a way, and a reason to get there, I would have gone by now.
I appreciate your effort, truly I do, but I don't feel any the better for it. Thank you anyway,
MissManic

I meant it exactly the way invisigirl posted. I wasnt blaming it on your age. I was including your age. thats what we do here. we dont just assume someone has a mental disorder or isnt having age related things we keep in mind each others ages (if thats disclosed to us) because frequently age related problems mimic mental and physical health problems.
example if someone posts they are having hot flashes one or more of the replys to that person is going to be from members keeping in mind and considering the persons age because women of certain ages have hot flashes due to a medical issue called menapause.
keeping in mind your age when we post to you here is a curtesy not blaming or attacking, or dismissing something you right about.
you posted to invisigirl you are reading posts from your 14 yrs of age. well I was posting keeping in mind your age and remembering what its like to be 14, hormones out of whack, acne/pimples, peer pressure to fit in and all that. its down right hard to be a 14 yr old today.
listing what things it could be..I usually do list things it could be but I was taking into consideration your age by not posting a whole mess of things and you possibly getting frightened of those things on the list.
since you are asking for a list of things this could be here you go -
medication reactions (this includes prescription, over the counter, herbals, and illegals because everyone reacts differently to those things so theres a potential for those same symptoms that you posted about.)
depression
mood swings
schizophrenia with alter egos
dissociative disorders
cancer (some cancers mimic mental disorder symptoms that you posted)
bipolar disorder
role playing
chemical imbalances in the body
Avoidant personality disorder
antisocial personality disorder
borderline personality disorder
schizoid/schizotypical personality disorders
age related problems
if you google your symptoms you will find thousands and thousands of mental and physical health problems that can cause you to be depressed, suicidal and appear to have opposing moods/alters and ego states. the only way to know for sure what your problems are from is by contacting your doctor.
I read your other posts on this and you stated you dont see your doctor much but will talk to him about it. I think thats a good idea.
