Change of Mood

Hi i would like to know what is wrong with me?, one minute i am laughing & happy & the next i am mad or sad & down, it goes like this all day i never get anything done cause every minute i feel different i want it to stop i just want to feel stabel, i've felt like this since i was small but now is really getting worst, i am 21 now, & it is getting in the way of my goals & that scares me, i'm scared of never making it anywhere, i'm not comfortable talking to my doctor about this, but i need help & i know later when i'm happy ill laugh at this, but after that ill be crying again for no reason.

These rapid mood changes are an extreme example of very well known and treatable form of depression. I suggest you see a psychiatrist for medication and help.

Your description could be symptoms of several different mental health disorders. The best advice I could give you would be to see a mental health professional for an evluation.  Mood changes that often are very often symptoms of borderline personality disorder.  Another symptom of that disorder is fear of abondonment, impulsitivity-such as in spending, sex, drugs, suicidal ideation, self mutilation, and a history of dysfuntional family, such as sexual abuse.  In any event, I strongly reccomend a mental health evaluation.
