Question Posted Thursday November 29 2007, 1:57 pm
so for the past few weeks, i've been having personal trouble and i don't know what it might be. since i've gotten back with my boyfriend, i've been acting really different. since we're opposites, sometimes i act the way he does and not care about things, but then i realize i'm doing it and stop. little things he does like talking to girls or when girls try and flirt with him bug me and i start to get really irritable. i always have this anger in me when i think about other girls. so then i tried breaking up with him and i cried hysterically at the thought of me never being with him again because i love him so much. so i stayed with him but lately i feel like i'm not myself anymore. i really just want to go somewhere new and start off a whole new life, because sometimes it's hard for me to figure out who i truly am.
i don't know whether this is a clinical problem or what....i've noticed i don't have a regular sleep pattern (always less than 8 hours because i don't get tired until way late at night), i have RIDICULOUS mood swings (one minute i'm happy, then the next i'm angry, then i get really sad all within 20 minutes time). i've stopped eating so much because i don't feel the need for it until i grow really weak.
could it be my health? depression? lack of sleep? am i crazy?! should i go to a doctor?
i really don't know what to do. any help would be great.

Don't think of therapy as a bad sign, because therapists are trained to know what's going on inside your head. They can do something to actually help you, when a doctor will generally just try to solve your problem with pills.
