weird personality/emotion cycle disorder..?

i have this problem of changing personalities/ emotion at an unusual rate where as at a minute i would feel happy and carefree and in another i would feel a bit depressed and be distant. this also applies to suddenly being angry and hasty or any other sort of emotions. i am a male and only 16. i thought of this as a normal phase at first from when i felt it 2 years back. but it seems weird that i constantly changes my personality and emotions for no apparent reason in a short time even though i am alone. this also affects my perspective/view of things and my way of thinking which sometimes disrupt my focus in studying. i am in need of some help or an explanation because i can't think straight with this horrendous change of feelings...very much appreciated

Could it be hormonal?

It could also be because you aren't able to manage your emotions.  Or maybe it is just a stressful life transition.

You could try posting on the mental health expert forum for a more accurate assessment of the situation.

It could definitely be worth accessing psychotherapy though, to help you work through things.

so as i thought at first..

i haven't had much trouble controlling my emotions so far but it's like all these things keep occurring in a way i don't instantly realise..

i would try and post there for help.. tyvm

You say that you change quite quickly would could indicate that your emotions aren't stable.  If your emotions were successfully managed or regulated then you probably wouldn't get the constant changes or ups and downs.

Testosterone could be the culprit?

The changes could be due to bipolar disorder but I feel that that is unlikely (although possible).  You would also need to be evaluated by your doctor to ascertain that.

You could also try your own health professional for more information and advice.  That could be a good place to start.

hmm it might be. because it just happens in a way i can't really describe it. . it's like in a moment im crying then i suddenly felt like to burst out laughing for no absolute reason . the feeling just comes like the wind does

it could be possible for any of those two.

i would try as yoi suggested..tyvm

It could be anything (from physical to mental to emotional).
Check with your doctor who can rule out physical causes and then take it from there.
It could even be stress related.
