What you are experiencing is totally normal. You might be extra emotional because you have had to deal with harder stuff than other people so when it comes down to things you are effected much more. I am the same way with my emotions. The way yoiu feel is 100% normal, you are just extra sensitive(girl tend to like that in a man). If you want to get out of these moods, treat them with an opposite. If you are really sad, do something happy(you get the picture). If it gets out of control, you could always takes depressents but I don't recommend it.

It sounds like your depressed and you have some confidence issues. You probably messed up at something before like really bad, and now everytime you try to do something else for soemone you have doubts and lose confidence in doing it and make you screw up. I'm not sure if this is true, but it may be a possiblity. maybe you just need to do some stuff to boost your spirits. try haning yout with your friends, going out somewhere, or watching a funny movie.

Granted, I'm a girl, not a boy, but when I was your age (which seems like a lifetime ago) I had the same kind of feelings off and on for many years. Not a lot of people talked about depression then, so unfortately I had the fear that I was the only one going through it.
The first thing I want to tell you is that while not absolutely everyone is going through it, a remarkable number of people are. You are not a freak and you are not alone. Second, although I'm not suggesting that you wallow in your depression, I think it is important to honor how you are feeling. Your emotional and physical bodies are going through a process (think of it as being at the bottom of the well). It's dark and quiet and you are internally sorting through things, but because you may not consciously recognize that, you just feel alone and miserable. When you start to feel this way, be patient with yourself and give it a little time. Find some things that you can do on your own (watching movies, listening to music, writing or reading). Soon, you will hopefully start coming back around, feeling better about your life and everyone in it. You may even have new insights into what causes you to head into a depressed state to begin with which is a good thing because knowledge is power.
However, now that you are aware that you are in a depression, it's important to know when it's getting worse or has gone on too long. If that starts to happen and your thoughts at any time do turn suicidal, then it's time to talk to someone and get some help. Sometimes, a state of depression is too strong and we can't get back up out of it without assistance. There is no shame in it and it takes a lot of courage to reach out. Best of luck to you.
Kind wishes,

These feelings are totally normal, and everyone experiences them at some point in time. I don't want to sound preachy, but I promise this helped me and will help you ultimately in life. If you don't know Christ, I encourage you to get to know him, because when you feel this way Christ can always help you. You can talk to me further if you want to get to know him. xoxo~ak

i'm not going to tell you that everyone our age has these problems, because it's not true, everyone's emotions are different and people can go their whole lives without being depressed or anything like that. i think that you should talk to someone that you trust a lot and let them know how you are feeling, and if you can't do that you can IM me sla6487 on AIM and i'll talk to you, i enjoy helping people with their problems and would do so glady. as for being a screw up, that's something that a lot teenagers go through, but you're not a screw up, you just need more people tell you that. i hope that i helped you and good luck with everything

It is definitely normal and you're not alone. It's a rough time in life so it's normal to have mood swings and depression. Go out with your friends and do something fun when you feel down. Find something you love doing that will cheer you up. Try keeping a journal to get your feelings out. Online journals are great because they're not too "girly" or anything and you can even have a little community with your friends. I love my livejournal because I can go in and just write about EVERYthing that's bothering me, and usually just doing that makes me feel alot better! So good luck and don't worry!

Almost every teenager feels like that from time to time at your age. You're male, so I doubt you'll be open to talking to anyone, such as a parent, favorite uncle, or school counselor, but if you ARE open to it, I recommend that first and foremost. What you really need to get out of your slump is a new hobby or obsession. Why don't you try out for a school sport or take karate classes? If that's not your thing, try to ride your bike everyday, form a dungeons and dragons club, start reading a new series of books, or whatever it is that interests you? Sometimes just giving yourself a distraction or activity to vent yourself on and maybe meet new people at can give you that little boost you need.

Here's the deal.
1 you are only 17 years old-(not a screw up)
2 every one has mood changes for sure.
so here is what I think you should do.and it works sometimes.
When you start feeling your moods changing,tell your self that you are not going to screw this one up you are going to past this one.
when you feel like getting away, do that--- like going to the park and look at the real beauty around you and enjoy it.the park is nice anytime of the year. or to the librey and read a book. now I know that you are a young guy but I finds a hot bath or just walking through a plant shop helps me. tell me what sets you off into your moods do you know?(write back)listen to what you said, (when you get your mood changes)=listen this to will past. tell yourself that.

Yes. These feeling come to everyone. It is part of life. Just get together with a bunch of friends and hang out to take your mind off of the things that are bothering you. Or go out and do something you like to do like dirtbike riding or skating. Do something that really would interest you. Hopefully it will help. It has helped me many of times. So Good luck!
