i have severe mood swings, and am very
angry all the time, especially at the
people I care about the most.
(sister/fiance). I really want to change,
but I don't know how. I have been called
emotionless,,, cold, and names like that
cause i don't know how to express myself,
this affects myself, my family, and my
relationships. I will be kinda happy for a
couple of hours, then I think, dam life
sucks ,, well anyways u understand ,, help
if u can, thank you--

You need to consult with a psychiatrist.
An evaluation can be done to determine if
there is any type of mood disorder going
on. It sounds like you may have a mood
disorder but you need a doctor to diagnose
this. A doctor can offer you treatment
options.

Well once you get on the medication it
will take away the mood swings and allow
you more freedom.
It takes a bit of trial and error to get
the medication right though.
I don't feel incredibly happy any more, I
miss not having the manic side, but it is
better this way not to feel the depression
either.

You sound a little like my cycles. I'm
Bi-Polar I (I AM NOT SAYING YOUR
BI-POLAR!!!) and I cycle from anger to
depression to suicidal thought back up to
happy. I would consult with a psychiatrist
in order to evaluate your moods. Too be
absolutely honest? It does sound like you
have a soft mood disorder, perhaps not
super severe, but it still seems to be
there. Medication is tricky. Im on Effexor
XR 150mg, Abilify 10mg, Ativan .5mg 5
times a day, and Mirtazapine at night for
sleep. My moods have not gotten better
what so ever, which is why I'm about ready
to try a stimulant like Adderal with a
mood stabilizer. Do some research bro, I'm
18 and I got at least some form of
treatment (along with therapy...) and yes,
the manic high's go away, and I miss them
dearly. I used to be able to go like a
motor, all day, literally. But now I feel
just down, so be careful with what they
put you on.
