Mood Swings?

I guess that would be the correct word for what I'm going through. I get at least one every hour, when I'm alone. First, I'll be feeling absolutely nothing. I mean, I don't care about anything and I can't make any decisions whatsoever. It makes me feel like I died and I came back as a zombie. Then I'll just randomly think of one little thing, and I'm just off on a rampage. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just go so crazy that I scare the crap out of myself. Usually something that sparks this sudden change, if it is caused by a trigger, is if I see or think of something that reminds me of my ex. He's not a bad guy at all, and the worst thing he ever did to hurt me was break up with me. So I don't understand why he causes this sudden swell of anger. But sometimes it's not triggered by anything. It just comes up out of the blue. My mind feels completely empty when this happens and I can't seem to think of anything except rage. I tend to hurt myself, but nothing major. Just digging my nails into my skin or biting myself (which is something my ex tended to do to me when we were together.)
After the anger, I start crying for about five minutes. This is the only time when I really actually think about anything. My mind feels full again and I think of everything that's happening, and it really scares me. I hate seeing myself like this, and I'm afraid that during one of my angry mood swings, I'll seriously injure myself. Once when I got really angry, I picked up this sharp piece of plastic that broke off from my chair and was about to cut myself. Right then, I entered my crying phase though, and I threw the plastic somewhere in my room. I have never tried to kill myself, or have any desire to die before. I don't know where any of this rage is coming from. Does anyone else go through these random mood swings, just maybe not the same ones as me? Or am I the only one that far gone? I need help. I know all of these might sound crazy and beyond repair, but if you know anything that might help, I'm open for suggestions. Posted on 07/21/07, 02:07 am |

well, the only thing that comes to my mind is bipolar, also known as Manic-Depression. I don't think that's quite it though because you typically feel really good during Mania, but I've read there are severe cases of Mania leading to temporary psychosis (being insane). How long has this been going on? If it's just recent stuff, I wouldn't worry bout it unless it never stops or start calming down.
Either way, it's always a good idea to get your emotions out some other way; emptiness/not thinking, at least in my opinion, is a self-defense type of thing. To protect yourself from all the chaotic feelings you have, you zone out. Does it sometimes feel like a dream and nothing is real or its just really... dream-like hehe? If so, that's called disociation. If you worried that its only you, I can tell u certainly its not. Whatever feelings your dealing with and problems that arise from them, someone has gone through it too. I may have gone through it myself, but I don't remember much about being depressed or anything. After it happens, I forget. I think it's because I dont want to remember, but yeah. Instead of taking out ur anger on ur body, you could find other things. I love going to my garage and just beating the hell out of my punching bag when im pissed off haha. It's good excersize too! or you could try shredding up pieces of paper with your hands into tiny pieces. anything helps, but I think the best thing is to have someone else there. Don't lock yourself away when you feel weird, go outside, sit next to a tree or something. trees rock :]

I get that all the time. I'll be hanging out with my friends, and I'll be fine, and if they say something just kidding around and it makes me the slightest bit angry, I flip out and get all pissed and give them the cold shoulder. Most of my friends just stopped talking to me because of it.

i think you mayned a bit of psychotherapy to be able to talk to some one you can trust and let all that pain and sadness out. You are so young and have a lot to live for. Things like breakups happen for a reason who knows maybe you were meant to be with someone else. You must try to pick yourself up and keep busy to avoid those feelings. Or learn mind blocking.

I don't think you're bipolar, because a manic-depressive's mood swings usually last for over a day. In any case, they last much longer than an hour. So consider yourself lucky in that respect.
On the other hand, you don't know exactly what's going on, but it could be plenty of things. It could be anything from drugs to hormones to stress to depression. I would talk to your guidance counselor or parents, or therapist if you have one. Stay safe, please.

I think that if you cant find out why these things happen you should pray and tell Jesus whats going on. I know it sounds churchy but God loves to hear from his children. I never recommend anything that I havent tried. I used to have similar problems but then I found someone I could talk to and it allways made me feel better. Pleae try it and get back to me.

I understand completely where you are comen from. I get mood swings like 2 times every hour! And I hate it. I sometimes take it out on those around me. And then i just feel worse once i realize i did it. Im haven problems with my boyfriend of 2 years right now because they are getten worse i think and he says there is too much drama. But he doesn't understand that I really cant help it. I love him too much to lose him but I dont know what to do to keep from haven these things? I cry alot over like nothing! Why do we have to be cursed with all this crap!? I mean what did we do!
