Feel like I'm losing my mind

Over the past year or so I've gradually become a lot more emotional. I cry more easily, I get extremely angry and aggressive at the slightest thing and I feel depressed a lot. My mum thinks I'm taking drugs or something and says she thinks I need a psychiatrist.

Right now I'm sitting crying just because I'm stuck in the house while my boyfriends with his mate. Earlier I went crazy at my mum just because she told me to tidy my room. I can't help it I just get so upset and can't seem to control it. I really don't know what's happening to me! Is this depression or am I just REALLY hormonal? :frown:

Is there any effector in your life which may cause this reaction?

Does your boyfriend treat you right?
Are your parents going through a divorce?
Are you struggling at school?

Mood swings are very normal but when they become extreme there is normally an underlying problem that needs to be sorted out :smile:

The most likely thing would be my boyfriend. Not that he's bad to me but he has upset me a lot before and let me down. I love him but there have been a lot of times I've questioned whether he feels the same. I know he does but our relationship stresses me out a bit sometimes.

But I know he loves me. I don't need to actually ask him if he does or not I just get really paranoid about it sometimes or get jealous if he is doing anything without me or if I don't get to see him one day (like today). I just feel ... alone :s-smilie:

. And my mum just stresses me out and annoys me so much that I end up taking things out on her which I try to stop but I can't seem to.

I don't know your situation (i.e. age) but if you were able to relax for a while with the 2 people you have mentioned that are stressing you out, your mum and your boy, maybe you would find a solution. A holiday away in the sun possibly?

I'm 17. Me and my boyfriend have been talking about going for a break down South but nothings been planned yet. Think I really do need a break though. Had a really strong urge to just get away for a few weeks now.

I would talk to someone about how you are feeling if I were you. You need to make a list of all the symptoms you have experienced recently and how long for.

If you have had symptoms such as messed up sleep patterns, change in appetite, lack of motivation/energy for more than 2 weeks then see your GP because it might be depression. I will direct you to my other posts if you want to read my experiences with depression because I don't want to see anyone making the same mistakes that I did.

If not then you are probably just going through a bad patch, which happens to us all at one point or another so you are not alone, and it is probably a good idea just to get away for a bit.

I am always on the end of a PM if you ever want to talk. :hugs:
