worried

[somerandomgy]

Hi, I'm not entirely happy with my mental state at the moment. I go through a random cycle of depression; it starts with me suddenly being very sad for half an hour to an hour then I get incredibly hyper for a few minuites, then it's back to normal. I feel silly writing this because I am an early teen and this is probably hormones, but it's scary all the same. I also do a a LOT of pacing around my room and just generally crying over nothing. I get very angry at the people around me for no good reason. I also constantly bite my hand to take my anger out, and now have 5 small red marks on my right hand that bleed at inopportune times. I am not drinking/taking drugs but my mother is a smoker and I liver with her. I have been through my schools counselling by they just pass me to one another and tell me they are "trying to sort something out" witch I don't doubt but isn't helpful. My parents split up a while ago and that was pretty scary especially since I event Sen my dad for two years, but that's not what I get sad over. At least I don think about him when I get sad. Any advice would b greatly appreciated, thanks.

I was like this its not easy to be up and down like that I was diagnosed with schitzo affective disorder which has nothing to do with schizophrenia by the way.
Your hormones are probably playing up and affecting your moods, sometimes a vitamin b complex can help with this and regulate your energy levels...
If you have an underlying problem causing you to feel stressed or anxious you should see a counsellor, I'm a counsellor as my job and I see first hand how much relief people feel off loading in a safe private environment.
Message me anytime should you need to chat...
Big hugs

  Generally in most schools there is a school psychiatrist.
If there isn't one and the guidance counselors have not been able
to help you and your family is not approachable in this matter
you could call the NAMI (National Alliance of Mental Illness) teen hotline. They could tell you what the best way to find a therapist is. Then if needed
the therapist could refer you to a psychiatrist. Also they could
tell you about in person support groups which can also be of great help.
