I know I would be stupid if I even thought maybe this was something such as Bipolar Disorder, but I can't help but wonder.
I am 15, but I keep having mood swings.
Not just tiny ones either, like sometimes I will feel so happy, just wanting to be alive, and I love it, and it seems to almost be triggered by nothing.
But a lot more, I am completely depressed and near suicidal, and I don't know what's going on. I used to adjust my myspace page to fit my moods, but when I started switching it about every day (or more) I stopped, and left it on something, I forget. But it's driving me crazy.
Sometimes a small argument or just a random comment or word or IDK will make me go into one of the depressed things.
A lot of the time, my friends help though, and I feel better, for a while, but then when I have to go home or something, everything collapses.
I finally asked my mom a couple weeks ago and she said "well you're a teenager, that stuff happens" but she seemed supportive but I'm pretty sure she didn't take me seriously. I do not like it when people don't take me seriously.
That has happened with other things as well.
But back to the topic, I need someone's thoughts on this. Is it really just a teenager thing?
.....Help please
