my emotions fluctuate alot.. and i feel like hurting myself when depressed.

okay...

as i said, my emotions really fluctuate that sometimes i feel really excited and happy for no particular reason.. and sometimes i feel so depressed and hopeless and that stuff:P

it seems as if my mood swings at least 3 times a week..

and when im depressed.. like right now, i feel so hopeless.. i have no energy.. having difficulty in concentrating and remembering things..

and i have this urge to hurt myself,

it feels as if i have lost the core of my mind.. feel empty..

i never seen a doctor for this kinda issues.. im not even sure if i need to.

what should i do? help..

Hi Sweetie,

I had to edit your post because we can't discuss self harm here. It is against the rules of the forum.

I agree with Jamie,
Talk to your doc, or see a counselor. They can help you with this. You may need medication too. But it will help you.

Do take a nice walk in the good weather. I walk daily, it does help. Gets the endorphines going. I hope that you feel better soon. Keep posting and know that we care.

Hugs, Karen...

Hello Kmia! I had pretty hefty moodswings in my younger years. It was finally diagnosed as brain synapse misfiring and I had a low amount of serotonin, and dopamine. What I mean to say is that its possible it is a chemical imbalance in the ol noggin. Many meds are available for such things. It is nice to be on an even keel emotionally. I would say the other posters are right, get with a doctor who cares, and see what developments bring. Meanwhile, drink a lot of water. It helped me.
