what's wrong with me?
I am a 25 year old female and I don't know what's wtong with me. I akready go to pineland 3 says a week on meds and I am still having problem s with my mental health. I am real emotional all time like for instance one minute ill be all hyper and happy and the next I will be agitated and ready to come unglued over every little thike like for instance I came home from pineland to find that my niece had stuff all over my bed and I snapped but stugf lack that dosnt usually bother me and I bursted into tears anf told her to get out of my site. Why would I cry over something like that. When I was in group today and I was reading some material I noticed that I kept getting lost in mid sentence and the sentenceskept running together and couldn't concentrate. Like I said I am already on celexa f or anxiety and depression and I am on adderall for adhd but why am I getting mad so easy because I've never had problems with anger before and ehy does my moods keep switching like a light switch that's never happened and for the past month I have been crying for ehat seems to be no reason at all why?

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
We aren't doctors but having experience with the mental health system I can tell you one thing is for sure. You MUST talk to your psychiatrist pronto and tell him/her or the group leader for your mental health program exactly what you told us.
From experience I can say that your dosages of medication are either way off (in terms of to little/too much of something) and or are not working properly to treat your particular illness.
You need to be straight up with your doctor about what has been happening recently and how hellish it has been. They can make changes that will work for you and get you feeling a lot better. Don't fear this as it happens with everyone at the start. Things need fine tuned.
Another key thing you need to do is keep a record. Every day before bed write out the date and in detail everything you felt that was positive or negative in terms of illness and keep looking to find a pattern of these up and down moods, anxiety etc etc. and bring that record into the doctor as it will guide them in figuring out how your moods and illness is cycling. Been there. It's rough but when they sort it out life becomes normal again.

None of us are doctors so we can't make a diagnoses.
You need to speak with your treating psychiatrist. What is happening sounds like it could be a side effect of the medication you're on or that your depression is becoming more manic.
If you depression is changing then you medications will most likely need to be changed as well. In either case if this is a side effect or your depression is changing only your treating psychiatrist can change your medications.
When you are next at Pineland tell one of the nurses or your group psychologist you're having problems and need to speak with your treating psychiatrist.

Your depression is changing. Are these side effects of any medication you're taking? If not, it just seems to be another phase of your depression. It sounds like you might have bipolar disorder, which is another name for manic depression. Explain this to whoever you go to about your mental health. It might be that the medication you are taking isn't exactly the medication you need.
