Feeling like crap today. I'm angry and stressed for No reason. I tried to exercise but quit because I don't feel like it. And I don't have the energy for anything. I was feeling great the otherday and now I'm so depressed and mad about anything and everything . I am so tired of these mood swings.

I'm with you on that. It's tiring and old.

My moods change faster then the weather does. I can be happy and perfect in the morning and then be angry and irritable and depression by the afternoon. I don't know why usually there is no obvious cause to my moods. But im bipolar so that gives me some reason I guess.

Hi Ashley, really sorry you're having a tough day , Not to trivialize the way you're feeling at all but it might help to focus a bit on the knowledge that these feelings are going to pass. Your mood has to swing back.
Sometimes all you can do is "ride it out", try to avoid as much as possible things that are going to make you feel worse and keep reminding yourself that you can beat the things you can't avoid, it might not be at all easy beating them but.........And remember they are just "things" at the end of the day, I know they probably feel like so much more but try not to let them have more control than they need to.
And if it helps don't push yourself into doing things/or too many things, just do what's right for you.
And you've just started getting help (!!), you really are on the right track, however hard things might seem right now.
And if something/s annoying/irritating you, just vent away bigtime to us about it We're here for you just as much as when you're feeling depressed!! You know that right?!! Here for you whatever!!

When my daughter was a teenager her moods were up and down like a yoyo. She had a suicide attempt. Now she is almost 21 and doing great. No meds. Very stable emotionally and happy most of the time.

What bazz and gencat and other teenagers here have to realize is that you have a lot on your plates. Even without depression and bipolar and anxiety and meds your moods would still be all over the place. Teenage years are hard. You have school and family and friends and all the expectations to get good grades, to work and on and on.

I really wish I would have been diagnosed and treated when I was a teenager. Things may have been very different. My daughter seems to have come out of it in pretty good shape. I am very proud of her.

I have only gone to a psychologist three times but one thing that stuck in my mind was that when a person is having a particularly bad day, the thing is not to fight it. Just go with it. You are having a bad day, accept that in the hope that tomorrow will be a better one. We all beat ourselves up about feeling the way we do. Me, I must say that I am more forgiving towards myself. Its o.k. to feel like **** today. Best wishes.

I am sorry bazz. I didn't realize you were 23. I noticed on your profile page. Well consider my advice for gencat and the other teens. I think my daughter may have avoided the depression gene. I do however worry about her drinking. she is not drinking that much currently but has in the past. I am pretty sure she got the alcoholism gene from me. She is going to have to be careful.

Hey you are in Michigan too!!!

Sorry about the mood swings. I have them too. Being on this forum has helped me to recognize it. I am middle age, and I have them. My low moods seem to last far too long. My good moods last maybe 2-3 hours. So weary of it.
