I'm filling out job applications and turning in resumes and I realized that I don't really want to put down one place I worked at. I worked there for a few months but I didn't like the job and it's a place around here that everybody thinks is pretty low (bad employees, bad management, bad everything). I don't want a possible employer to read it and say, "Oh, it's one of those people..." Is it acceptable for me to not include that part of my previous work experience? I feel like it would hold me back from some job opportunities in this area if I put it on my resume. I wouldn't be like lying but I'd just be excluding a part of my past, right? What do you think? I don't want to break some unspoken rule about resume techniques, of course. (link)

You aren't supposed to put every single job you worked at on an application or resume. You are only supposed to put those which have something related be it skills or position that have something to do with what you are applying for.
It's common practice to have more than one kind of cover letter for different types of jobs and the same with your CV (resume). For example if you were applying to work in a bank you wouldn't want to put that you worked at Taco Bell as head burrito maker in 1988 As good as you may have been.
They don't have the time to call all these employers up anyways or do an investigation that would unearth this job you worked at for a few months. If you don't indicate it they won't know about it.
And, if for some strange reason they ever knew you worked there briefly tell them you left for the reasons you told us. But.. that won't happen. They'll just call people you list as references on your CV and go by your interview.

hi im an 11th grader from california i was in a program called alc (alternative learning center). ive recently moved to rockford in Illinois and i dont want to go to a public highschool and i cant find a program like i was in california, or any other type of homeschool i need help please. (link)

The district schoolboard is responsible for your education and receiving one in a safe environment whether you ever attend their schools until 18. Therefore, they have to tell you about any and all homeschool or alternative programs to get your GED.
I don't know anything about your city and state but I do know that adult education centers and nightschools exist everywhere that are easier to earn credits from. Again, the schoolboard can tell you about them if asked. I would look into it if I were you.

I've been smoking weed for a while and I have had a few panic attacks while high. (Usually from smoking too much.)
But the other night I was in the car with my boyfriend and we were high. He put an angry/depressing Eminem song on and I started to feel really anxious and I came very close to having a panic attack.. Until he changed the music to Bob Marley (my favorite) which then made me feel at ease and I was able to breathe. The Bob Marley song was over and another angry song came on and I felt anxious again.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any psychological studies on listening to certain music while you're high and how they effect you?
Thanks! :) (link)

The poster below is right about medical studies pertaining to what you asked. However, it's blatant that you don't want to experience any further attacks and can't handle them well. Most people can't and like you they want to know the triggers and how to stop them.
We know that the cause of the attacks has something to do with marijuana--well a lot to do with it or it seems. It would seem that it would be in your best interest to stop smoking it altogether.
What's it done for you really? I'm not sure how and if music plays into it for that see the previous poster. But to me it seems obvious that drugs are causing the reaction. Stop the drug lose the panic attacks if that is the direct source.
Stop the weed and then see if you have this level of anxiety or panic outside of it. That's how you will know whether you have a medical issue with panic or not.
When you experience an attack find some place to be alone and put your head between your knees and take deep breaths. It will subside a lot easier. Been there, done that with that kind of anxiety.

Ok so were I live well it's getting snowy and too cold to run outside I need good workout info that I could do in my house bc I can't go to a gym at the moment but I want to get in shape for softball a little so when conditioning starts it won't be as bad... And I kinda have a small fear of conditioning soo any good types of workout I could do in the house p,s I don't have stairs k thanks!! (link)

You could get a treadmill for running and believe it or not WIII FIT has a ton of exercises that will help you lose weight if you buy it and use it daily. That's one tip.
I can understand that a gym is too costly however, there are other solutions. The YMCA gym which has exactly what you are looking for plus swimming and other programs is actually pretty affordable and they have a program where those who cannot afford membership and can prove why can get aid to pay.
Your best bet is to find out what your town and city has for parks and recreation. Swimming passes are dirt cheap usually and they have machines and sometimes an indoor track too at community centers. You pay one low fee a month to use them and it's ridiculously cheap compared to what you have encountered.
I would go on to your town and or city's web site and look up the parks and rec programs and facilities as well as cost as that right there could be beneficial to you.

I'm 14/f and I masturbate a few times every week (like IDK 3 or 4 times). Well, I noticed a weird smell from my vagina and told my mom and so she made me an appointment with a doctor to get things looked at. My mom doesn't know I finger myself. Will the doctor be able to tell that I do that? I won't give you TMI but I will say that I know I made myself bigger down there from doing it. So, will the doctor say something to my mom IF he can find out I masturbate? And what do I say to my mom if he tells on me? (link)
|
He legally cannot give any medical information about you to anyone including your mother. The only time they can with a minor or someone else is when that person A) can't speak for themselves or make decisions and B) are in crisis or endangered.
The doctor really doesn't care if you masturbate or not. He/she won't judge you as most of his/her clients do it frequently and it's viewed as normal. Nothing to be embarrassed over. They can't tell unless you say something about it and even if they did they wouldn't care and can't tell on you.
Your mom's no fool and even though she may never have told you anything about the subject or asked about it she knows it's universal with both sexes your age and probably suspects it and won't care as much as you think.
You have to be brutally honest with this doctor about your sexual history but seeing as you are a virgin all's fine. They'll do their routine exam and treat your infection and that's all. They aren't concerned with masturbation but rather with any infections, STD or reproductive issues, or sexual history.
Even if he/she knew you did this and told mom which they certainly won't it's not a big deal as she knows the bulk of people your age do it and that adults do it as well. She was your age once and probably dealt with the same issue. It's not a problem and you would see that if it's ever discussed. Best to relax.

I ordered a couple of things off of a reliable website. I got a pair of shoes and some leggings for winter. The merchant split the package into two separate shipping boxes and shipped the leggings separate from the shoes (for whatever reason). The leggings arrived UPS four days after I made the order. The shoes, which we ordered at the exact same time, are being shipped through FedEx SmartPost and it's been 7 days now. The estimated shipping arrival date has changed from 1/05/2011 to 1/10/2011! HUGE difference! Then, to top that off, it left one of their sorting facilities TWO days ago and hasn't been logged in as being anywhere now. Two days ago it was only a few hours away from my address! So, now I'm all confused why it hasn't arrived, the estimated arrival date has lengthened greatly, and nobody has tracked where it might possibly be in two days. Does anyone else have experience like this? I'm asking because I don't know if it's normal, as it's my very first time using FedEx for anything. Should I give FedEx a phone call about this or bite my tongue and wait it out? (link)
|
Highly unusual for a FedEX package period. You should have received it by now if it was sent by ground and not air.
There are many reasons why you may not have received it. They include the sender having the wrong postal code, wrong state or province and more than one street with same name. Also, if the address isn't exact or legible that screws up everything. I've had this happen.
Call the merchant first and explain the situation to them. They can pull up your account instantly and the tracking number and lay into FedEX about it.
Being unable to track it at all makes no sense.
See what they can do as I know they can ship a replacement by a different source for you or reverse charges. Another important thing you didn't consider is Christmas and New Years. All packages halt for several days because of that. I would bet that's the issue more so than anything else. Either way pick up the phone.

Ok so a few hours ago my mom took away my mascara and told me that I wear too much... I don't so I told her to quit running my life and I ran upto my room, then my mom yelled at me to come downstairs so I did and she slapped me across the face and told me to never talk to her like that again..... I just went back upstairs and grabbed my razor and held it up to my wrist, I almost killed myself.... but I put the razor away and cried myself to sleep...What should I do to get my life back without my mom hurting me phisically?? Btw, I'm 13 this year (link)

You have some serious issues if you are trying to end your life by slitting wrists over how much makeup you can and cannot use. And no, the woman isn't trying to ruin or run your life.
You need to get a grip on reality and see that and how stupid killing yourself over any of it is. I'm not being a jerk either in saying maybe you should see a professional as this kind of behavior and trying to harm yourself or end your life over it is the farthest behavior from normal.

Tomorrow is my mom's 51 birthday tomorrow what should I get her? (link)
|
We have never met your mother so us trying to help you choose something is a hard to impossible task. You know mom best. Ask yourself what does mom need that she doesn't have and I can afford.
Try that or something homemade. Maybe you making dinner is all it would take especially if she is run ragged.
If you can't figure out something you should simply ask her for some ideas or ask your father, siblings etc. what they think she needs that they haven't already purchased.
The task is harder because Christmas just passed but I'm sure you'll find something meaningful.

I am a graduating student this year. But I am not quite sure of what college course to take. I thought of B.S. Chemical Engineering because I really loved Chemistry and got high grades from it. But, like any Engineering course, it also has the subject Calculus and unfortunately, I got low grades from it (my lowest is 78). Should I take it up? But here in our country, our school is one of the best. And according to the other alumni, they passed the university (The school I wanted to enter) with flying colors. (link)
| |
78% a low mark? Are you kidding? That's close to 80% which is pretty damn high and most people can't score that. If this profession is something you love and the school seems the right fit than you should apply and see what develops.

I need legal and family advice. My cousin is 14 years old and lives with her mom, dad, older brother, younger sister, and baby brother. She feels as if she is not appreciated and is being mistreated. She never gets to go out and always has to look after her younger siblings. She's even thought about suicide. If her older brother does something wrong she is blamed for it and punished by her dad. He talks down to her and sometimes physically abuses her. But here's the catch, her "so-called dad" didnt sign her birth certificate because he didnt think she was he's. So my question is "If we go to the police will she be able to live with me and my mom?" and "Since her dad didnt sign her birth certificate does he have any say so in anything that goeson with her legally?" (link)
|
I'm not a lawyer and I suggest she talk to a teacher, principal, counselor or trusted adult in her life about what is happening at home. They will know how to intervene, get her professional help and a lawyer if it's needed.
Not sure about the birth certificate but if he's not listed as her father than he may not have any rights as a parent. I'm not sure on that but you need to research it and report physical abuse.

I'm a freshmen and I lost my virginity in the spring of 2010 to my boyfriend. Things got rough when he broke up with me and I found out he had been cheating. I went to this summer high school party and things got a little crazy even though I wasn't drinking. I ended up having sex with a bunch of the guys there. It was really, really bad. I got pregnant, panicked and told like all of my friends, and then ended up having a miscarriage (not abortion like some rumors going around say). So like everybody knew what went on since a lot of people were at the party and then I opened my big mouth about me getting pregnant.
This year everybody calls me a slut, but I swear I'm not really. I was just hurt, I guess. It hurts because right before winter vacation a senior asked me to prom and I accepted and was happy at first but then he was all saying how he doesn't want to knock me up and I figured out that's the whole reason (sex) why he wanted to go with me so I had to tell him no to going.
I confronted one girl who was ALWAYS picking on me and calling me slut and whore. We had this fight but I feel terrible because at one point she asked me how many guys I've had sex with and my number is kinda big for my age and I didn't know more than half the guys that did it with me. It only makes things worse for me because I keep thinking of what I did and how it was pretty bad.
I don't want to be slutty. I haven't had sex with ANYBODY since summer. How do I get people to forget about the summer thing and just move on with things? I don't want to be THE slut of the school because of 1 thing I did. (link)

As soon as you forget about it so will they. Right now they're getting a rise out of you but sooner or later will move on to the next person.
Why do you care what they think? You really shouldn't put any stock in what they think or their reaction. Who the hell are they to judge you? In a few years you won't know them and they won't know you.
You'll undoubtedly rise above them and their mentality and the way they are now is where they'll still be at. What you learned from this are hard lessons you need to digest and think about.
Number one, keep personal stuff to yourself no matter what and who it is you think can keep their mouth shut. They can't and won't. You've witnessed that. So no matter the scenario whether you are pregnant or not is your business solely and not for discussion.
If they see you were pregnant later on that's okay but again not for discussion as you owe no explanation. Secondly, who are they to call you a slut? It could be a jealousy thing re: guys or the pot calling the kettle black.
If they call you a slut or a whore don't give them a reaction. Most importantly is that you are in control of your own life and need to take precaution and not get into situations where you have sex with random people at parties or otherwise.
You can't lose that reputation unless you always are sober and look out for yourself. The only way to "redeem yourself" or have a decent reputation for doing the right things is not to allow yourself back into this type of situation.
I would advise you to lay off sex period until older/wiser (I'm not judging) and with someone you care about as there's no way once you are on that path that you can fall into these scenarios where other people can judge. It's good sense to avoid being hurt.
Like I said earlier, learn from what happened, move on and forget what they are saying about you and consider the source of it. Once they know they can't get to you and that your life is pretty boring you will have no problems.
Getting in a fight with someone about it only makes the problem bigger. Be sure to keep personal things to yourself no matter who you think your friends are. Should have no trouble then.

Hello i have a 10 month old female toy fox terrier. I've had her since she was a month old. When i go to work we do "doggy daycare" with my mother-in-law and she goes there about 5 days a week for about 8 hours a day then comes home with me. It's always been like this. We recently started to notice that when i leave to go out of town for more than 3 days she gets sick like has diarrhea. But then i take her home and she's completely fine. I have taken her to the vet because i was concerned about her getting sick (this was before we thought its because i leave) and the vet said she was fine. Is it possible for a dog to get upset and sick when their owner is away? If so, would a separation anxiety medicine help at all? I've never heard of this type of thing happening. Thanks for the advice! (link)
|
Absolutely! She's still a puppy and has imprinted on you. If you are gone for long stretches or she's boarding somewhere or mistreated at a kennel she's going to get stressed and sick that you aren't there.
The vet says you have a healthy dog and their records prove it so it's not that. I'm not sure if an anxiety medicine exists for dogs but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. You would have to consult a vet about your dog's anxiety and sickness when you go away.
The best advice I can give you is to surround her with people you know that can care for her when you are gone. As she learns to trust them she will calm down.
Also diarrhea could be with her diet too. Have you switched food recently or given her a new brand of treat or scraps? There could be something she can't handle with whomever feeds her when away. My dogs are like that.
You better believe that they get anxious when you are are gone and fear you may not return. My dogs love my father but could care less when I go out. I have observed them sitting at the door and just howling until he returns or staring at the door and going ape at any little noise.
I was gone for 3 months twice and my dog went nuts when I returned as did a dog that didn't see it's owner who was in the military for 5 years. They get frightened.
You need to seek your vet's advice and look at idiots guides on dog training to see what you can do to make it easier on the dog when you're gone. They would give the best advice on that as I'm going by experience and not being a trainer.

When I was 9, I found out that my dad watches porn. And later on, I found out that he has an email in which he has added a couple of women. I even saw a huge number of files which had the 'weird' conversations he had with those women. And I have doubts that might have had a relationship with one (or two) of his collegues as Ive seen a couple of 'inappropriate' msgs in his mobile. Ive even come across voice recordings in his mobile in which he had a conversation with another married woman.
I have tried to be as brief as possible
I dont what to do. Its been more than 7 years since Ive known about this. Im lost and I cant take it any more!
PLEASE HELP! (link)
|
Married men watch porn and it means nothing about the relationship with their partner. The e-mails are a concern but again you can't prove anything more than him talking and doing inappropriate things online.
He might not be cheating on your mother but rather hooked on the fantasy and being able to talk to anonymous people that way who are in to the same thing. It's not right of him to be doing this but unless he's cheated and you can prove it there's not much you can do.
His e-mails are private so in a way you did something wrong by reading them. What should you do? Tell him that you have known about these e-mails for 7 years now and never mentioned them to anyone. Ask for the truth and tell him that he needs to divulge this to your mother or you'll do it. Make good on it.
Make sure he knows how this has affected your ability to function normally for years and you can't keep this to yourself much longer. Sometimes secrets are pretty icky and will hurt others but you have a moral obligation to get this out into the open.
That's when healing and positive changes start happening gradually but they won't if you keep it inside. While you need to divulge what you know soon don't do it at Christmas as that would be disaster and tactless.

Alright, all day today I was around this boy who is majorly cute and I would not turn him down if he asked me out, haha. But anyway, everytime I was around him, today, my friends would whisper to me that he's looking at me and they told me he was looking at me a lot. Then at the end of the school day I was nonchalantly turning around to find him because my friend said he was behind me and when I turned around to look for him, he was already looking at me. What does this mean? If he thinks I'm attractive, why doesn't he talk to me? Thanks!
(link)
|
He doesn't talk to you for the same reasons you can't to him. He's shy and embarrassed about approaching you.
All you need to do is acknowledge him when you see him and start talking to him if you are sure you are interested in him and go from there. That's all this really boils down to. Someone has to make a move and he's not sure what your reaction will be. So, if you want him you have to show interest back.

Writing is my greatest passion, but I just can't think of any inspiration for an original work! I want to get started on a big project and soon, maybe look into the writing world more. Honestly, I never wanted to make a career of it, but it's about the only thing I can do, so are there any tips out there to get out of Writer's Block, maybe get some inspiration back? Any information on publishing and editors would be great too! (link)
|
When it comes to writing write about what interests and excites you. It especially helps if that's a topic not many know about. Try and make it your niche or your beat like most journalists do.
If you are writing about anything you aren't in tune with or interested in naturally you will have problems writing. The same thing goes double with writing out of obligation or sense that you must. Don't get into that trap.
You don't have to write daily either and in fact it's better that you don't. Sometimes you need a break from it only to return when ready. That's normal.
I assume you know or have been told you have talent in this area. Let's face it a lot of people can't write worth beans and that's why authors are so revered as are great journalists.
If you know you can write like a pro try volunteering as a non-paid intern writing stories and doing pictures for a local paper (the one with fliers that comes weekly). That's what I did.
Also take all the english courses you can and when the time comes to apply to college (go to college first over university) get into a hands on journalism program where you write for a newspaper and produce one.
University is all theory and no hands on experiences or clippings come from it. That's why you need community college first. I've been where you are at now so this advice comes from experience in the field.

If someone is addicted to masterbation , and everyday masterbates , does it cause a bad effect on his sex organ or his body?
Thanks You :) (link)
|
You're fine even you did this activity more than once a day. It's pretty much universal with people in your age group. Nothing bad can happen from it not can it affect your health or any body part negatively.
The only way it could be a problem is if it's all you ever do or want to and you have no life at all apart from it. If that's not the case it isn't an addiction but rather something you do because you enjoy it and that's okay.
There's nothing that causes it as it's not a disease or an addiction yes, you'll have urges but nothing that can have a negative effect on you. Hell, if that were so nobody would do it.
You should relax and know that about 90% of males will do it at some point in life and about 77% of females. That's of all ages.

Okay, so I'm an eleven year old girl.I have an uneven skin tone, but for the most part I have cinnamon brown skin, with brown eyes and black hair. I have acne, oily skin, and a huge nose. I'm really tall ( 5 feet 5 and a half inches) and I'm kind of a nerd. I'm not looking for sympathy, but can you please help me? I'd like some clothing and makeup suggestions(my school has a dress code, we have to wear collared shirts and no jeans)
By the way I don't really get an allowance and I'm kind of broke.
Thank you!

How dare you call yourself ugly! You aren't and are only so in your thinking. Change what you think about yourself inside and start seeing your inner beauty. You'll never be happy with your outer beauty until you do. It's connected.
I'm not the best person for fashion tips but you don't need an elaborate wardrobe to make you feel beautiful anyway. I'm sure another female on here will have tips so I'm going to address another part of your question.
You don't need to have oily skin any longer or acne. What you need to do is see a family doctor or dermatologist and tell them how bad your self-esteem is over this.
They will give you a prescription cream (and you need this and not store bought solutions) that will eat away at what causes it and make it a thing of the past.
I know doctor's visits cost money in the U.S. so usually they'll cut a kid a break and give them some samples. But once you get on this your face will clear up and if that's all that it takes to make you feel beautiful that's great.

I am going to a concert, All Time Low, finally, I've been waiting to see them for SO long. Anyway, I hear after concerts they always have hang out sessions for anyone that wants to come, where they will sign stuff and just talk, they like to do that in Philly and small places, the concert I am attending is in Philly. So, since I will probably be seeing them in person and we may possibly meet, I'm already planning an outfit. I already know I want to wear converses, because they're comfortable sneakers and they look cute too (: and probably my favorite skinny jeans but how should I do my hair and what type of shirt should I wear? A blouse, tee shirt, flanel? I would like to be comfortable but look cute enough to not necessarily turn the guys' heads but for a guy in the audience to talk to me (especially because I am going with my best friend and she's a model). I am not aware of how hot it gets inside concerts but I'm guessing with all the girls screaming for alex or jack and trying to all be towards to front, it will get pretty tight and hot. So, any help would be appreciated, thanks so much! I am a 16 year old female. (link)

This is at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia in March if I pulled the right details up. When it comes to clubs it's usually a General Admission set up where first to get there gets to stand closest to the stage in the end.
You have to take into account a few things at club shows. Number 1 you are packed in quite often like sardines. This will mean you could be roasting and especially so if you have a winter jacket on. Wear loose fitting clothes and comfortable shoes.
Number 2) comfortable shoes are an absolute must. In clubs you could be standing there on the floor in the same spot for several hours before the main band hits the stage and when that happens expect to stand for about 90 minutes more to 2 hrs depending on their set. If you're in shoes or boots that don't feel good after a few hours it's murder.
Go with the outfit you have selected and make yourself look as you normally do and don't try anything fancier as this is a T-shirt and jeans thing.
You're right about one thing and it's especially bad and sometimes dangerous in a small club to have a popular band there. People will do everything to surge to the front for the headlining act so be careful there.
My recommendation is to call the venue and ask who is promoting the show. It's probably Live Nation as they do 90% of world concert promotion and find out the set times (for when they go on) for the headliner and show up an hour before so you don't wind up standing for hours. While you won't be at the front at least you'll see them and be comfortable.
Don't bet on meeting them for free either as usually people have to pay for that unless it's a band that isn't established or has a policy where they do this for free like all bands should but don't. Go with what you had planned as it will work.
If this show were in an arena I would tell you to wear the same thing. As long as it's comfortable and you can sit there for hours without it not being tight or restrictive you're fine.
It sounds like you've never been to a concert or haven't much. The biggest thing I can tell you about clubs is to drink tons of water and the same in arenas. In a lot of arenas the air isn't that great, it's hazy and your throat dries up. Regardless of the venue find out when the main act is on and dress comfortable.

Okay so I am in a situtaion here. I need to get something for my frien for Christmas other than a fushigi ball. I want to get he something else like under 10$ but will mean something to her.

I kindof want to make my mom something too. I'm artistic wiu creating stuff but not drawing. What are some things I could make he and my dad and grandparents. I'm 14/f btw.

We have never met your friend so telling you what we think you should buy her makes little sense. What we think she will like may be the exact opposite of what she's in to.
What are her interests? If you know what interests her than you can find a gift that has something to do with that. Also, talk to her friends and ask what they think would be a good gift for her.
Also ask your mom and if your friend has sisters consult them or her mother to see what's on her Christmas list that nobody purchased yet.
CD's, gift cards especially to movie theaters are great even if you just put $20.00 on it as that's enough to get in. Most theaters also sell gift cards or certificates with popcorn, drinks, movie for 2 people these days for slightly higher than $20 but not much. Try that. I haven't met a soul that didn't like getting that. Same thing for books and restaurants.

so i'm eighteen girl and i dont know whats wrong with me but i'm always feeling really crappy. i'm not sick or anything. but i just don't feel good. as in, i'm not happy. all of my friends are always hanging out and making plans and they ask me to come with but i always say no because i'm not in the mood to be around people and i always just want to go home and sleep and be by myself. what is wrong with me? i used to be so social and happy.. now i'm just always in a bad mood. yes there was a lot of crap that happened in the past, so that could affect my mood. but that was in the past, and i'm trying to forget about it and move on. but i just can't seem to make myself happy again or in a good mood. i used to love shopping and going out to the movies. now all i want to do is come home and lay in bed. what do i do to get myself back to normal???

Try and think back to when this first started and if there was a trigger. That's important to figure out. Also, write the thoughts you are having down on paper each day. That will help later when you talk to adults and a psychiatrist.
It sounds like you need one but you aren't crazy and don't need to be to see one. That's just an erroneous stigma. What this sounds like is onset of depression as everything you have described about yourself and life right now are classic symptoms. When grouped together like this it indicates there is a problem.
Family doctors are the worst people to approach when it comes to mental health. They aren't trained or specialists and just prescribe stuff or send you to a hospital if the situation warrants it.
The hospital is where you need to start at. Go to an emergency room and tell them what you told us and that you want to be seen by someone who can figure out the problem and treat it. A psychiatrist on call will do that.
They will likely prescribe medicine and give you treatment. They can ask you to stay to be observed and they can only hold you more than 72 hours if you're a threat to yourself or others ie: delusional, suicidal.
But this does sound medical and needs to be checked into by a doctor. And yes, it's considered a medical emergency when these signs are all grouped together. It's not something as you can see by now that just goes away on its own.
The moment social life, regular routine, regular life becomes this hard to do and things change with moods it's indicator things aren't right.
If you should find your moods going from happy, to elated to depressed and rapidly changing get to a doctor asap as we could be looking at bipolar disorder especially if you are having any weird thinking, visions or grandiose thoughts and ideas.
