ok, so the last few weeks i've been feeling like total shit. i'm fed up with numerous things and i dont know how to control my anger. I'm trying to lose weight for the new school year, but i get so "blah" that i overeat and lose control. I'm really mad at my image..for example, i think im ugly and fat. [even though im not, i sometimes have low points in my mood and i think im so ugly // fat that no one wants to be my friend and etc.] i have so many more like.."mood" problems, that they wont fit in this question. i think all of this crap has to do with some sort of wierd mental illness, but my parents dont believe me. i dont know what to do! pleaseeee,please help me.
thanks.

Okay. Yeah I'm guessing you're between the age of 13-15. Yeah. Well guess what I feel like this right now! I know what you're saying and no you are not mentally ill at all. I hate to say it but its a stage in life that every girl has to go through. It's confusing and sometimes you just want to end it all but you have to stay positive. If you look in the mirror and you don't feel pretty then just keep saying you're pretty in your head. So when you look in the mirror again you'll feel prettier. Also being pretty only gets you so far in life. You're not always happy because you're pretty. My cousin is beautiful but she isnt always happy. you really don't get any special treatment because of the way you look. also those people that don't want to be your friend will be sorry when you get new friends that really care. Dont mess with those people. All they will do is hurt you. All the time. So leave them alone and make new friends or just talk to people. And you are having mood swings because your hormones are all jacked up and makng you feel realy happy then really sad. Yeah! I have those too. I go from being happy and then crying in less than two minutes. Its strange. And about your self image. Okay yeah I feel fat even though I know I"m smaller than most girls my age. Which is funni. Because sometimes I think they look better than me. So you'll get through this. But stay positive. okay? okay. bye bye.
love the munchie from the south side. haha.

If this is something that persists for a long time or gets more severe then I might worry. But given that you are still young and going through a lot of changes, the new shchool year is starting, etc. - it's prettty normal to feel the way that you do.
Everybody starts to get nervous, insecure, and has these types of moods at your age. Trust me, I remember those days. I also taught teenagers for a few years and EVERYONE goes through the same thing.
So just remember that. When you look around and start feeling self-conscious about something- like looking fat or am I wearing the right outfit, who will be my friend, etc., remember that everyone else is thinking the exact same thing that you are!!!
Some just fake it better than others! Some are all cool on the outside, but believe me, they have the same insecurities too. You know that deodorant commercial- "never let 'em see you sweat"? Well, that's what you have to do. Just fake it. Be confident like you don't have a care in the world and everything will be just fine. That's what attracts people- the confidence.

I don't know how old you are but it seems pretty normal for teenage to feel as if they are fat/ugly or have unattractive traits at times.
If you are having trouble with your anger maybe try exercising when you feel unable to control your anger, it'll make you feel better and help with losing weight.
You could possibly have some kind of disorder that is effecting the way you see yourself. If you are curious if something like this is wrong with you check out> [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and take whatever test you think applies to you. This isn't enough to diagnose you, but if you seem to have a lot of symptoms you may want to talk to your parents and tell them it may be serious and see a doctor.

hey
first off, everyone is beautiful. everyone has or will feel one day the way you're feeling right now. you probably do not have mood problems, but maybe you're just battling stress right now. is something bothering you? maybe a friend, a guy, some sort of other problem? figure out what it is.
try starting a journal. i have a diary & it really helps me figure out what's on my mind, & how to deal with it.
you have friends & they love you very much. i highly doubt you have a mental illness & your parents probably don't believe you cause we're all teenagers and parents think we're just overreacting.
anyway, it's probably just a phase & you should feel better in a couple weeks. if you don't, try telling your parents again and perhaps the doctor can tell you something more.
but seriously, try writing a journal. write everything out. you'll feel a lot better.
i hope i helped
