For the past few weeks I have having these random mood swings. I them multiple times everday. I'm either very entergitic, or I'm depressed. My friends tell me that I'm always negavite about myself, and put myself down. When I'm in a "high" swing, I can be jumpy, laughing, high-fiving everyone, then CRASH! I'm down in the "low" swing, very sad, quite, hopless, loneliness and just down right sad. Lately I haven't been very hungry, at times I even skip dinner. I always skip lunch, I eat it when I get home from school. I have these random thoughts about hurting someone, and then I feel really gulity even though it never even happened. There's a girl I really like, and I can't get her out of my head, I feel I'm going crazy. I talk to her, and she waves when ever I see her. She's a junior and I'm a sophomore, I feel really weired for liking someone older, but I heard it's normal. Last night I went to homecoming, and I asked her to dance with me and she said "yes". I danced with her and she asked me "are you ok"? I told her the truth, "I'm shy" and she hugged me telling me "Everything will be fine". I felt guilty for some reason, my guess is because I was shy and a lousy dancer, but she didn't seem to mind at all, she smiled. I thanked her for the dance. She's a VERY nice person. I too am a very nice person, I'm the kind of person that holds the door open for people, I say sorry if I run into someone. I say sorry for pretty much everything. If I tell a joke and no one laughs, I say "sorry" and they laugh and say "You don't need to say sorry" then I say sorry again. When I'm in a "low" swing, I don't feel like eating, I don't feel like doing pretty much anything. I know that this isn't the normal up and downs, because I'm in the "low" swing most of the time, but I sometimes have a "high" swing. I am a clean person, I don't do drugs, and I don't drink, My mom is an alcoholic and just the thought of drinking makes me sick. I do however take medicine my doctor prescriber. I take Vyvanse for my ADHD, Seteraline (Zoloft) for my Hypochondria and Risperidone. Most of the time I'm in a low mood, I have a very low self-esteem. I like girls, but I'm too shy to talk to them, so I consider it a breakthrough for talking to the girl I like and even dancing with her. At times I wish I could just be invisible. This is probably enough babling, someone please answer this.
Thanks

Sometimes we can over think things and that makes our problems mush bigger than they actually are.

You are growing up,you are facing questions about your identity and that is good.

Trying to find your place in the world but to over think it is counter productive.

Try not to beat yourself up so much and look at your assets instead of your flaws.

Everyone has problems with self confidence at some time or another but you have to give yourself a mental pep talk and remind yourself that you ARE A GOOD person and that anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend.

Be yourself and take pride in who you are and your accomplishments.
