Well, I don't know what to say. For the past month or so, my life has taken a serious change. I used to be happy all the times, acting on impulse and doing things spontaneously. Then, I suddenly became depressed. I was fine one day, then I became down in the dumps. That lasted for a few days, then my mood would start to go up, then down, and repeat. I haven't had an appetite for the past two weeks, and I've had a short temper for the last month.
It's been really bothering me at school and at home. My small amount of friends are starting to get worried about me, even though I've been trying to act normal. At random parts of the day I'll get paranoid, or have an anxiety attack, in which I'll have to step out for a few minutes. (That always raises a few eyebrows).
While I'm feeling depressed, I'll have suicidal thoughts, which I try to send out of my mind as soon as they come in. I've started to become the outcast of any room I'm in, because I'll either make an *** of myself (mania), or people will notice me standing in a corner with my head down.
I haven't talked to anybody about this, because I didn't want to make anybody feel down. But now I'm assuming that if you're reading this, you have to be having some problems as well. I wish that something bad was happening in my life right now, so I could blame it for my problems, but nothing stressful is happening.
All I can do right now is thank you for reading. I know that you probably didn't want to read about me, but I just wanted to tell someone.
Have a spectacular day. If you want to.

This is totally normal. A lot of times things like depression just show up out of nowhere. Basically what happens now is you teach yourself a new way of living your life. You take stock of things you eat and remove triggers. Caffeine is a big one. I noticed a huge increase in my mood since I've stopped consuming caffeine (and ironically more energy as well). Fish oil vitamins have helped me as well.

You also take stock of your limiting beliefs and insecurities, and challenge those beliefs.

And then there's accepting that it might not ever go away, but when you stop resisting it, the storms pass rather quickly.

Sounds like you can use some support. I've found that the folks who post here are supportive and understanding, so coming here should be helpful. We can't really diagnose you here but opinions can be offered.

Have you considered discussing these feelings with a doctor or therapist?

Welcome aboard, I hope you find the help you're looking for here.
