From the sound of things there is something going on, as to precisely what that could be only a highly trained mental health professional could assess. The first step to discovering how to help yourself is to maybe approach someone like your school councilor. This person is usually trained to help you receive the most beneficial help. They will also be aware of the most cost effective programs and maybe even free ones; this, of course, depends on your community since each community is different. Also, if your parents have health insurance most policies include mental health programs. You could go to your parents and tell them that you're feeling a bit off, explain some of the symptoms you've described here, and you could get into seeing someone way too.
Something you may want to bare in mind through out all of this is that you're a teenager and right now there are a lot of chemical changes going on. Things are shifting gears and revving up into a new level of awareness. Your hormones are plunging full force into your awareness and believe me they aren't taking baby steps to help you adjust in a more gradual and accepting manner. They are raging forth and screaming for acknowledgment giving you no say in the matter.
Humanity has difficulty w/change of any kind. No matter if it's good or bad for us, we don't like it. We resist it. They're going to happen whether we like it or not so brace yourself. These changes you didn't ask for are going on w/in your body and are confusing. They manifest themselves in the form of feelings which can be overpowering @ times. You sometimes feel things are out of control, for example. You haven't been taught what to do w/these errant and seemingly controlling feelings and as a result, you're releasing them in many forms such as anger, crying, and violent behavior. They are in control only because you are unaware of what to do and how to handle these burgeoning hormones. Hormones, you see, develop a wide variety of changes w/in your body such as breast development, menstrual cycle, etc. If you think about it for a minute you will understand. Your body is actually changing itself physically. There is growth and new bodily functions going on which has never been eperienced before. It's really so amazing.
This is why I suggest you find a mental health professional. It will take someone who is trained in such matters to help guide you through this mangled mess of confusing chemical surges w/in you. This is all new to you and you need help understanding these changes. The sooner you get guidance the better off you will be.
There are a lot of adults in this world who have never received any guidance, so they have never grown past the teenagers impulsive reactions when angered. As adults they become attached to them and even addicted to them much in the same way as a drug addict. You have probably seen adults behave in very childlike behavior when they are angry about something. These adults have never been guided and have never grown past their teens "emotionally". There are an awful lot of them out there too. Simply watch how they drive.
This brings me back to recommending getting w/someone who is trained in these matters. This is probably your best course of action for now. Good luck to you!!
Namaste!

I am very sorry to here this. I am 13 years, old, and 14 soon. But I have the same exact problem. So much is going on in this household. my mom is never home, because her mom is in the hopstial. So i bascily, haha, live alone! It seems fun, but its not.
Its 2 days till christmas, we don't have our tree up, and nobody has gone christmas shopping. Plus, we are a very religous family. So, its very wierd for us!!
I cry all the time, and my friend will say hi, and ill just bust out in tears. For no reason! If I drop a pen, I will start screaming and pulling out my hair. I have constant mood swings.
Since my mom is never home, I told my dad that I think I am bipolar. He gasps and was like "JACKIE DONT YOU EVER ACUSE YOUSELF OF BEING MENTAL EVER AGAIN"
I just cried and cried and cried. Haha, Im useless, im like telling you my life story here, but yeah.
My advice to you, since from the mood swings, is that you go see a doctor/counsler. Consult your parents, ask them nicley "Mom/Dad, Do you think it would be okay if I saw a counsler/doctor. Whatever you think is better.
Hope I helped much, = ]

i think you have the signs of B-P there. bad moodswings nonrelated to periods can be a good sign, you should see your doctor, he/she and asses you for B-P, and give you medication to help stop your mood swings.
Hope i helped!

I'm sorry, about everything you're going through. I personally, have not been through this experience, but I have seen those who have. So I can understand, from a stand point how you feel. Here is a site, that contains on information on Bipolar Disorder.

Good luck! And don't worry, I'm sure everything is going to be okay. If you fits the signs of this disorder, I would definitely recommend going to the doctor. And if you do not fit the signs, I would still go to the doctor, and he/she can evaluate what's going on, and he/she will help you.

Here's a site that tells you of the sypmtoms and everything:

Also, if you realize you have most of these syptoms, maybe try going to see a doctor and getting a test or whatever they do to REALLY find out if you are or not. Cause obviously a doctor would know better than any site.
I hope I helped.
