Depression and Graves Disease

My thyroid levels are apparently now normal with my methimazole medication, but they could go down.  I just get into weird moods.. really highs and lows. i cry alot, i hate my body, the way i look sometimes, im always hungry and i constantly change my mind. i also have that "i dont care" mentality about lots of things, especially school and my grades have been suffering.  Mind you, I am a teenage girl but did anyone experience these things? What can I do?

Maybe your thyroid levels may be 'normal' on the reference range but not normal for you.
What was your TSH, FT3 & FT4 levels?
I find I am like that if my levels are too high or too low for me.
I find I am more at ease and feel normal with my FT3 around the 4.5 mark and the FT4 around the 16.0 mark.

The ref ranges are as follows in Australia:
FT3  (3.5-6.5)
TSH (.05 - 4.00)
FT4 (10.0 - 19.0 )
Post yr Labs here so others can comment and try and help.
