I get some really intense mood swings sometimes and they've become more frequent lately. One minute I'll be really happy and the next I'll just be seriously annoyed or depressed. I've noticed that most of it happens when I'm at home and I don't really understand it. I mean sure I get into fights with my parents every now and then but lately I've been fighting with my mom about the smallest things and everyday! I could have had the best day at school but it's usually ruined within an hour of my coming home. I don't understand why I've been getting so annoyed with my parents lately. I mean maybe it's just because I'm a teenager and it's that phase the I'm going through but I'm not sure.
And also, there are times when I'm perfectly fine and I start thinking about some stuff and I just get really depressed. I just get a sinking feeling inside me where I just have to cry and I don't know where it comes from! I have a serious problem with pain, I'm pretty much a baby, and I hate seeing blood and I never understood why some people cut themselves but this one time a few weeks ago I just couldn't help it. I just had the urge to do it and I did. Like I said I'm kind of a baby so I didn't cut very deeply and it was only a couple of times but it kinda makes me worried. I don't know whats wrong with me and it's starting to scare me! I don't really know who to talk to about it because I just know my parents won't understand and my friends are great but I really don't think this is just something they'll really be able to help me on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (link)

Well I have a really good friend who reminds me alot of what you just described. If by chance you are anything like her, than this is what I think: The whole parents thing, maybe you just have a hard time taking in their opinions or reasons because you've convinced yourself so much that yours are the only right ones. And that it annoys you to have to stop and listen to them talk when it isnt "important". As for the thinking about stuff and then getting depressed, I think that happens to most people. You just need to find a more constructive way of pulling yourself out of it, like music or art, or something your passionate about. Then about not being able to talk to friends, maybe you have one good friend who could understand where you are coming from, if not completely than maybe more than some of the others. Its always good to talk to friends. Again I dont know you so this is just my attempt at figuring it out. Also, I really doubt the bi polar thing, I think its just life. So idk if that helped you at all, but I hope it gives you something to go off of. :)

I have also have had painic attacks aleast once and night. idk is this normal? (link)

Its not really "normal", but for your situation its not uncommon. Theres really no way to make that stop unless you change your thinking. You need to learn how to not want to cut anymore. this may take medication, therapy, its not just going to happen over time. As for the rubber band method... not helpful. ive used it, and i ended up doing it so many times that the rubberband snapped in half and my arm was just big and puffy.

is anyone here schizophrenic? it was one of my vocab words and the definition is "a state characterized by the coexistence of contradictory or incompatible elements." what do they mean by different elements? like you're living in two different worlds? i once saw a movie associated with someone who is schizophrenic, but what is life like?
