Hi,

I have been reflecting on a few times in my past of which I don't really understand my behavior.

I went through major depression when I was a teenager - maybe that has something to do with how crazy I got?

Anyway, I recall times where I went to parties and I acted really crazy. I remember getting really excited whenever I arrived to a party and I remember always having the idea that I'm going to have a lot of fun tonight. Most of the time I related fun to acting absolutely crazy. I feel embarrassed by how off the wall I would get. I don't think many people would invite me a second time to their party no matter how close we were. I don't understand why I would act the way I did. I just know I had adrenaline inside of me bursting at the seams. I feel that same sort of speed whenever I get really upset. Even now, I struggle controlling myself. Sometimes I get so heated, I do something really stupid and at times, I throw tantrums. I have gotten better at restraining myself - I can stay absolutely calm whenever another person is trash-talking me. Although calm, I still feel the pressure building up inside of me. I know at moments I can appear insanely crazy to people. Other than those once out of a blue moon times, I am a very relaxed normal person. I wanted to know if there's a diagnosis for my behavior or is it just bad nerves?

Hey there, :) I can relate to how you feel. I had similar out bursts a while back when I went through a rough time after my drink was spiked. What I did was I went to see a pyschiatirist as my behaviour was out of the ordinary. I know its scary to think about but they are really only there to help! The mind is a fragile thing and like any other part of the body when its broken it needs fixing.I'm not insinuating youare crazy by any means. But I really think you should see someone who can better understand your symptoms and help you. None of us here are doctors,so unfortunately we cannot give you a diagnosis. If I was to hazard a guess it sounds to me like you.could be suffering from ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Of course this is a mere guess as I am not actually qualified to say. If you are a little apprehensive about seeing a pscyhiatrist I would suggest visiting your dpctor first who mighy be able to give you.peace of mind about going :-) Best of luck and I hope I.helped some how. Much
