I think I have a lot of different things..
(15/Female)
I'm pretty confused. I've told my parents more than once that I think I have depression/bipolar/OCD/anxiety, but they won't do anything about it.
I have really bad mood swings and I'm really unstable. The smallest things set me off and I absolutely LOSE IT over almost everything. I'm always tired and I don't have the same motivation that I had when I was little. I used to cut a lot and I still do, just not as much. I have terrible mood swings and sometimes I just lash out on people for basically nothing. If someone I'm around gives off a bad vibe or is in a bad mood, I automatically ajust, I can't help it. I switch moves often and fast, I'm like a whirlpool of emotions all the time..
I contradict myself more than anybody I know and I can NEVER focus anymore, I can never get anything done and I'm lucky if I can even do my homework without getting too bored and not caring enough to finish it. I can't even begin to explain how all over the place my emotions are, I never have a cleared head..
What do I do?

You sound pretty much exactly like me. I can't ever focus on anything. If I'm trying to have a conversation, I space out horribly bad, then I have no idea what's going on. It's so frustrating and it makes people very angry with me.
My moods switch on and off faster than a light switch, too. I never really lose it on anyone. I just go in my room and pace and listen to music until I cool off.
Honestly, if you go to a therapist, they'll be quick to hand you a list of labels. I finally went to a therapist last year and they slapped with 6 different mental issues. Which now, of course, are on my health record.
I stopped going to my therapist. Some might be good, but mine was far too fast to diagnose and prescribe pills that I refused to take. After I stopped going, I developed my creative side more. I've always loved writing, but I took up drawing, painting and making clothes/accessories. Now, when I start feeling my moods shift, I do whatever hobby is most readily available to me. It really helps to calm me down and keep me from getting to that point where I totally flip out.
I honestly think a lot of it is hormones. You might want to talk to your gynecologist and see if there is a birth control you could test and see if it helps level out your hormones, which will level out your moods. that would be the first thing I would do. If that doesn't help, next would be going to a therapist, not a psychiatrist that can prescribe pills. Just a counsellor that you can talk to and get your feelings sorted out with. In the meantime, try building up your creative side and getting support from friends or family.
Good luck,
