Q: For the past year, I have been having really bad mood swings. I am a girl, but I don't think that they have anything to do with my mentrual cycle. Once or twice a month, for between 3 and 7 days, I feel horrible. I feel guilty about nothing, really sad, hopeless, helpless, and like it won't go away. I just generally hate myself. Sometimes I feel like cutting. A few times I have thought of death. One time, I thought of death and then three days later I was absolutely back to normal. I have a mood chart now to track my emotions, so I am hoping this will help. I have been on other sites, and they said that I am probably bipolar, but I don't agree. Bipolar involves manic states, and I don't have that. When I don't feel really bad, I just feel normal. I don't feel over-the-top happiness. I know that most of you aren't professionals and that you can't technically diagnose me with anything, but if you could give me your opinion that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It could be a thyroid problem, but that is usually accompanied by extreme fatigue and it's ongoing. The mood swings NEVER FRIGGING STOP! Hah, I'd know. I have one [hypothyroidism].
Buut, I also have PMDD. I'm not really sure what it means. It's like PMSing only worse. Some women get so depressed that they do the most regretful, awful things. One woman put her dog to sleep and was devastated after :[
And I know you said this may not be linked to your menstrual cycle but it sounds like it due to how long it lasts. I would definitely go to a doctor, or a therapist or something.
A therapist is sworn to secrecy, UNLESS youre going to hurt yourself, someone else, or someone else is getting hurt. That would be bad.

Thanks! I didn't really know much about the thyroid problems before, so thanks for telling me about them. I will definitely look into them.

Most call me quaint. Im afraid to be blunt.
I dont get out much, either.
Lifes been pretty mellow lately, but I only see it as the calm before the storm. Its okay; I love the rain.
No I cant handle the truth. Just tell me anyway. I love having secrets and I actually sort of like being labeled.
I believe everything, the good, the bad, can change in a second. Someone please tell me otherwise? But I can be...well, stubborn and slightly insane.
Yeah, youve been warned.
I have trust issues and dont take things lightly. Im always asking too many questions looking for what I want to hear. Thats not the best quality to have.
And people often dont understand me, especially when I babble. But hey!
--Lifes short. Talk fast.And oh. I never take my own advice. Kooky, eh? Yeah, IDK.
forumfulness. experience the insanity..ZWOOOSHH
