Puberty- Mood Swings
I'm 15 years old and struggling from bad mood swings. Lately, I have seen a drastic change in my attitude: I have become more annoyed, bored, tired and less hungry. Every school day feels like a drag, as if I am wasting my time going through a stupid routine. I understand this might be a common symptom of puberty, but this feeling has just rushed in. I have a lack of interest in many things these days and it's just sad. I have been sleeping a substantial amount more, feeling exhausted after school and not feeling hungry. My mother has also noticed that my eating habits have changed and my father has seen my lack of motivation in attending clubs.
I'm a girl and I understand the species can be more emotionally prone, but I feel so weird and different that I want answers.
Has this ever happened to you? Is this normal? Will this go away?
I understand that you are not a doctor, but you have a lot more experience at life than me and I am grateful for your help.
Thank you -('3')-+

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
My best advice to you would be take care of your physical health. Too much sleep + plus exhaustion and frustration and no appetite, sounds like you might be spending too much time sitting at desks and computers.
Maybe that sounds simplistic to you—and there may certainly be other things going on—but I was about your age when I started to realize the link between taking care of my body, and not feeling like shit emotionally.
If this is continuing, you should get a physical and talk to a counsellor, but the first and easiest thing to you can do, right now, is make sure you are getting a bit of physical exercise each week and not filling your body with caffeine, sugar or other useless junk when you are eating.
These days, as an adult woman, whenever I start feeling frustrated or depressed, the first thing I do is take a look at my diet, cut down on my caffeine, and make time to exercise. You are coming to the age where you'll learn that taking care of your body can go a very, very long way to helping your mind and attitude.
