Help

[thenewageriseth]

I've been depressed for a while now. I'm either happy one minute and then I'm sad the next. I'm kinda lonely, most of the time and where I live I can get really sad when holidays come around becasue I'm not spending them with my family in Peoria. And in Chicago, my aunt is a real crochety person who points out people's problems and judges and I'm tired of her doing so.
Any advice?

Well, it is understandable. But I would recommend getting tested for bipolar, if your happies are REALLY happy, and you're sads are really REALYL sads.... and just surround yourself with good loving christian friends, and try to avoid your aunt...

Talk to one of your family members and tell them how you are feeling, and get them to take you to see a doctor or a therapist.

From happy to sad and from sad to happy is called cycling it is very common in bipolar people. I would certainly have that checked out if I was you.

I agrree about geting to a doc and gettting checked out. Also be aware there is a type of bipolar that invovles "hypomanias"- little highs, not just the classical really racing highs. Also limit your time with your aunt as that type of critism is very difficult to be around!

I was going to say that this sounds like bi-polar. thats what I have, and I was up and down, up and down.. There was no in between.

It's definately a good idea to se someone about it, if you wont get tested for bi-polar, but i think the tests would definately be a good idea!
God bless

Uh-oh...I wondered if I have this... I asked my father if I had it...He said no...I was kinda hoping not...although lately I've been so moody...
Are there any tests on the net I can take?

Keep track of your moods. Do they happen at certain times of the month or certain times of the year. Do you exercise? What is your eating habits. Have you had anything bad happen in your past. Tracking helps alot, if you can do it for a few months or get a close friend to help you. Alot of woman get put on the wrong meds, which will hurt you more. Some women have severe PMS or some of the above items. If it's a regular cycle of ups and downs then medical help is a must. Don't be affraid there's good help and groups who understand and care. My utmost prayers are with you!
