I just figure here is the place I can figure out something.
Every couple of months...it is as if I become a whole different person, and I have no control over it. Its very scary for me and I never know when its coming. It takes over my life.
For a few months or weeks, I will become a religious nut, I will be a Christian go to church and all that...then few months later..my new obsession is being a nurse. then all of a sudden for a few months im completely depressed and burdened. Then for a few months Im 10 years old. I want to wear little pigtails and be a child or a baby. Then next few months Im n adult and my past doesnt affect me and Im okay. then the next few months I find myself acting like an old lady, trying to dress modestly wishing I was in 1940's. Then in week or months ill feel like I want to do something bad like drugs or just run away or I dont know!
And the thing is, that these things done go away. Its like they cycle every few months..and sometimes Ill get a new "thing" but usually it cycles between..old lady, 10 year old, religious nut, secular whoever, body counscious eating disordered.
I dont know how to get rid of these cycles in my life, I dont know who I am I change so much all the time. Its really scary and I cant control it. Ill throw things out that later I wish I had..I make friends with people which later ill dislike or want no contact with. Ill make big decisions ...then later on ill be like.. WAIT I cant do that!!! does anybody at all relate? I tried to ask in "ask a therapist" but all he did was tell me I was young and exploring . THIS DOESNT FEEL LIKE EXPLORING. this feels like im suddenly forced into something else and I become someone or something esle. I dont know!

we cant tell you what the problem is with in you only you and your treatment providers can do that and only - you - can tell - us - what your problems are. this site doesnt allow even those of us that are mental health providers from telling members what their problems are.
Im told we can tell you what it sounds like..
in my opinion it sounds like anything and everything. by that I mean the problem can stem from anything starting with puberty to mid life crisis to memapause, and on into old age. it can be any mental disorders known to the mental health providers like but not limited to bipolar disorder, disscoative disorders, schizophreniic type disorders, depression, , OCD .........
and it could be nothing at all.
to figure this problem out you will need to contact treatment providers ie medical and mental health probviders in your town city or near you. they can all do diagnostic testing that will finally give you an answer to why you behave the way you do and have the thinking process that you do.

normally people do go through phases where they feel they need to make changes in their looks, behaviors, roles in life.
