I have been getting really sad/depressed lately, and for no reason or for small reasons. I overreact to everything or just have breakdowns. I have been getting more and more of them recently, and I don't know what I should do. Sometimes I'll be really happy and then sometimes I feel like I have no friends and want to die. Is there something wrong with me? Do I have manic depression? (link)

the good news is that no, you are not manic depressive.
the bad news is, you are a teenage girl. every single girl i know, including myself has gone through that stage.
if you were manic depressive, your depression would last between 6 monthes to a year and then the manic stage would come after and last the same amount of time and alternate back and forth. manics have a high amount of energy and it is way differant then just being happy or giddy.
hope i helped

hey, i need help really bad but i don't have anyone to turn to, and i really mean nobody. a while ago i "went through a depression stage" i guess you might call it, and it got really bad. i was builimic [sp.?] and i cut myself. [my parents and friends were compleatly oblivious to everything because i guess i'm a "good kid" and they never had to worry about me] i don't know how it stopped, but it just did. and now i think it's starting again, my parents suddenly decided we're moving and i feel like nobody wants me around, but i guess thats my fault because iv'e been pushing away the people that mean the most to me. i always want to be alone and i started keeping to myself a lot, like not talking AT ALL during lunch, unless someone asks me a question or somthing. when i get home i got straight to my room and cry, i don't know why though. and i started cutting myself again, i dug a knife into my wrist after dinner tonight and it bled and bled. i feel like i don't belong anywhere and i want to run away, but i don't know where i'd go or how i'd get far enough away from home. iv'e also sat on my roof after everyone in my house is asleep and thought about jumping off, but i really don't want to go to hell. i really need help [i'll "rate high" or whatever, just please help] -jeanine (link)

that's a really tough situation. I was a former cutter... so I can relate to you on some level. I've switched schools like 4 times and moved once. Everytime, it was very hard, but everytime I made new friends and you seem like a sweet person, I bet you will too. I think that if the cutting is getting out of control, you should talk to someone about this. I know it's really hard to deal with, but maybe a therapist can help you deal with what you are feeling without having to cut or be buliumic. I hope I helped

I used to be in the exact position that you are currently in. I understand the feeling you get, and only a cutter knows what its like. No one can tell you what to do, actually I think if some one were to tell you to stop, it'd make you want to do it even more. You should try to figure out the source of the pain that is making you want to hurt yourself. That will explain so much to you. Maybe next time you feel the need to cut yourself, hit a pillow, or chew gum, or something to distract yourself from the intense feeling. If you need to talk more you can go to my site. I hope this helped you!
