Please help me! I am a 20 year old sophomore in college, and ever since I started college it seems it has triggered this HUGE form of depression. Recently it has gotten even worse! Maybe about 1-2 a month a get in a deep dark depression lasting anywhere between a few days to a week. While in these depressions I cry all day, I am overly sensitive, my moods are unpredictable and any minor little thing sets these moods/depression off! Then afterwards I am fine. Happy like nothing happened! The moods last for maybe 2-3 hours (while in the week) and I'm out of them. They may come back but rarely, I'm happy again until the next small thing sets me off into this dark depression. I get very suicidal. This has also gotten worse. While in these depressions I think about death and killing myself. My family has a history of mental illness (bipolar, schizophrenia, depression). Also since recognizing this behavior I've noticed I've became very reckless (while driving and with sex), I don't care about college like I use to my grades are dropping and I may get kicked out. In high school my grades were very important to me! I am alone a lot (but I am social while out). I only have one friend, who is not a very good one and I don't seem to be as eager as I was to make new friendships! Please help me! Is this BPD? Also nothing traumatizing has happened to me. I don't get excited about anything. My birthday is coming up and all I can do is cry. I use to love my birthday. Now I'm so depressed. What is this? Thank you.

Why is a good question, and a therapist can help you find out the answer to your "why", as it is different for each individual.
College is a time of big changes and the transition to adulthood, and it can be a scary time. What you are going through is not uncommon of people your age, and a therapist can help. |

I happen to agree with k123....seeking professional help is something good right now we don't want the suicidal tendencies to become more and have you tip over the edge

It may be bpd or it could be depression. Stress and major life events tend to make depression worse. Like the other I would reccomend professional help. Also do you have anyone in your life that is supportive? Maybe a family member you can talk to?
Most colleges have counsleing servieces that you can talk to.
