So yeah, like the title says...

I'm way, way too emotional and I get upset far too easily. For example a certain news story, no matter trivial/non trivial it is, can give me a lump in my throat and get depressed like that. People do that too -- like the other day my Dad told me to shut up when he was watching the TV and I got so upset I wanted to cry, hit something/harm myself.

Another trigger is college. Usually the night before a new day I'm feeling like I'm going to meltdown, even if it I know it isn't going to be a hard day. I feel like I want to scream and cry and self harm.

Then there are my mood changes which, to me, aren't normal and extreme. They don't happen all the time, and when they do there's no grey area. For example in the space of a day I can go from feeling really happy and confident to so miserable that I feel suicidal and want to die, and I don't always have to be triggered.

Surely this isn't normal, right? I'm seeing my psychologist soon to begin therapy (after waiting months) and I'm scared she won't see it.

Do you guys have any coping methods? I'm on antidepressants right now, but they don't aways help...
