I go from 0 to 100 in a second when I get mad. I over analyze everything. I stay either mad or sad. Im always alone and my family wants nothing to do with me. I get nervous when I get around a group of people. Idk what's wrong with me. I use to be a bad little girl but Im 25 now and totally opposite from the way I use to be. I jump from relationship to relationship like I cannot be alone I don't have insurance to seek help so what can I possibly do? How can I deal with my feelings. Its like I'm extra sensitive when it comes to everything. Plus, I have no one to talk to about it or care. I feel like Im going crazy. Please help.

We can't diagnose you over the internet. It's not possible.

Have you asked your family to help you pay for therapy to find out what's going on?

That's your best bet.

Good luck.

Not a chance...

If you are in the US, go to an ER and connect with a social worker. A lot of counselors in private practice work on a sliding scale and charge according to what you can afford. There is help out there for you. Or call the reference desk at your library. They will give you names of counselors to call.

Call your county or township human resources office to connect with a county psychologist/psychiatrist (sliding scale).

Even though you do not have insurance there are still ways to seek medical help. Here is an article that may help you.
How to Find a Doctor When You Have No Insurance

You cannot possibly diagnose yourself because obviously you are not a doctor. If you are really having issues, you should see a psychiatrist. They can properly diagnose you, and prescribe you medication to help you. Here is another link to find psychiatrists in your area. Call ones that are closest to you and see what you can work out based on your insurance situation.
Psychiatry - State Directory

Not all psychiatrists are in private practice, so therapists are also found in the office. So, you could ask the psychiatrist who they suggest based on your diagnosis. Psychiatrists strictly provide medication, not therapy. However, you may not even need medication, you may just need someone to talk to. Even if the psychiatrist is in a private practice, they could still recommend a therapist in your area. They all have connections! Therapists take in everything you have to say, and provide you with coping mechanisms to your problems. They delve into the root of your problems to help you overcome them. Depending on how much trouble you are having, they most likely will want to see you once a week.

Now, like I said you cannot diagnose yourself. But, to educate yourself, this website describes bipolar disorder. It is a very serious mental illness, and can be alleviated with medication, but can be difficult to diagnose because it could just be that you suffer from depression. Luckily you are at an age where teenage hormones can be singled out.

Do not be afraid to seek help, it could really turn your life around! I wish you the best of luck :)

I agree with the others that we cannot diagnose you. There can be a lot of explanations for your behavior. It sounds like you don't have anyone and your family isn't very reliable for you or supportive, and this alone can explain your behaviors and feelings. You may just be so hurt and afraid of being hurt more that you have developed a "don't mess with me" kind of personality, and a short fuse. This isn't uncommon among people who have suffered a lot of disappointments from other people they relied upon.

I am not a psychologist but my understanding of bipolar disorder is that sufferers cycle between highs and lows where they have excessive energy and are overly enthusiastic and positive for periods, and then go into black, depressive stages as well.

When you are going through a difficult time, you don't need to have a diagnosable disorder to exhibit some symptoms that are characteristic of some disorders. A perfectly healthy person can be short tempered under stress or when rushed, overtired or overstressed. Ask any parent of an obstinant three year old!

I agree you should contact your county social service workers and ask about counseling services. They can probably find someone for you. Also be mindful of free support that's out there if you have grown up in difficult situations. For example, if you grew up in an alcoholic home, there is an organization called Adult Children of Alcoholics, which is wonderful. I'm not suggesting you grew up in an alcoholic home, just letting you know that there are free support groups out there, too.
