Lately, I have been getting very angry. I've even got to the point where I punch my wall many times. It started in June, when I graduated high school. Since then, I've lost my best friend/ cousin to murder, and had my best friend lose contact with me. I lose my temper easily. I was never like this. I'm usually a laid back.
My mom thinks I'm bipolar. I dont know what I think of that.
My moods change rapidly. One minute, I could be on top of the world, smiling, the next, I could be so mad that I cry.
WHATS WRONG WITH ME?

well i used to have mood swings until i learnt some lessons in the hard way...i mean i had to suffer a lot because of my temper and i surely lost a lot of stuff like my precious time which i spent on being angry at others or just myself and i have to say that anger is not the solution...after you read my answer you should get a piece of paper and right down things you had before facing this problem and the things you want to have and compare what you wrote down with what you have now because of you anger management issues

from the way you ask your question, i gain the impression that it is grief over the loss of your friend (and anger with how it happened), and the ending(?) of another friendship and other recent life changes that has upset you. I am far less convinced that you are unwell due to a mental disorder. for a college-age person, you would have had to have shown many other symptoms other than grief, major life changes and outbursts of anger! So, what do you think? do you simply need some time out?? The transition from school to college is in itself stressful. What are you doing to be kind to yourself? I like the person's idea above, to make sure you have a friendly ear and good, focused support. it can be hard for parents to understand you as you transition into adulthood. i would not get upset with about being upset. it is normal. bear with it, have some quiet time, get another adult to listen to you if your parents or friends can't. Read. Sleep and eat well. i hope things settle down for you soon.

Nothings wrong with you, you're just a human fuc#$% being. A word of advice, stay away from ANY anti-depressant pills. If you start taking those you will become dependent, then the days that you don't take your pills will become unbearable. I've seen it happen with my dad when he lost his parents to cancer and started taking pills. a long line of sadness goes through the shrinks office dude. and they may say that they want to help, they may act like a trustworthy friend, but to them it's just a job, and they just want you to swallow all those pills, because repeat business keeps their families fat and happy. In fact there are many lawsuits about those drugs pending. You may be a little unbalanced right now after losing a friend in such a terrible way, and that may not go away for some time. just remember, it is your responsibility to yourself, to your family, to the people you know, and to your friend to be yourself, move on and be the light. don't go into the darkness for too long.
I've had bad episodes in my life too man, but you learn from things and move on, that's the way it goes. it's the harsh truth and you need to know that.
LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS FUN
But it is always educational.

Nothing is wrong with you! I went through a similar ordeal myself. I needed to let go. I was feeling the "why me's". I was taking it personally like it was done to me on purpose. It made me very angry, along with a short fuse. You need to talk to someone about this and work it out(psychologist). Or you could go to a psychiatrist and given meds. I do not believe in that approach since nothing is being done about it, you're just being medicated. But that's me. Either way do something about it before it consumes you. Good luck to you, YOU CAN DO THIS, if I could then anyone can.

Your are describing bi-polar symptoms. I think you are suffering from post-traumatic syndrome and this has brought on the manic-depression (bi-polar). You need to get some help with the losses you have suffered and need to understand how your helplessness in all this makes you angry. I strongly recommend some counselling to help you deal with this unfortunate situation. I wish you luck and peace of mind.

Its an issue you've been keeping within you for awhile and you need to let out. You need to speak to someone about it like say a counsellor or something.

jill, you have gone through tragic times. ask your mom to take you to see some professional help. sometimes just being able to talk to someones besides your family and friends can really make a difference.
good luck sweet pea!

Simple one here my friend - Manic depression
Go to the Psychiatrist and get the right antidepressants.
Psychiatrist - not psychologist

what you describe fits bipolar.
I suggest you learn to stop reacting to the world around you and start thinking about it. ie... something made me mad, I hit the wall.

This is not the place to seek an answer. Get to a doctor at once.
