Question severe emotion probems - September 21st 2011, 02:42 AM

I don't know why but I have a lot of emotion problems. I get angry easily and its an uncontroable anger where I just want to beat the crap out of someone or just murder them. There also my sadness. I maybe be just sitting there when a of a sudden I'm crying my eyes out. It also happens with happy emotions. It like I'm one of the moodiest peope ever. I only seem to relax when my friend is taking to me. Just when that speacific person is talking to me. Its ike he can contro what I can't seem to control what I can't seem to control. Its weird. But kind of normall. I don't know what's wrong with me or if I'm just extremey bi-polar

It doesn't sound like bipolar, bipolar is more like being depressed for weeks or months then being horribly ridiculously happy or irritable (plus a lot of other signs and symptoms) for weeks again. While what you're describing sounds like its troubling you, its not bipolar. You should talk to a therapist about it, nobody here can diagnose you.

As mentioned, it is unlikely to be bipolar disorder because the duration of hypomania, mania, depressed or mixed episodes have to be for a few days. When these episodes occur, they are largely independent of the situation, that is, if you're in a manic episode, your friend cannot have such control over your behaviour. Your behaviour seems to resemble that of someone who has something that's troubling and they're trying to internalize it but are unable to do so, perhaps for the worse or for the better. In this respect your friend is a lifeline as someone who can alleviate whatever it is that's troubling you but it's not resolved. You may also see your friend as someone who is stable and you're mimicking their behaviour (something everyone does to an extent under the theory of mind). Whatever it is, you'll have to get off your chest and not try to internalize it.

Although it's true that we cannot diagnose you, it's still irresistible to try!

We can try to educate you with the facts and you can see if they apply to you. Here they are: Bi Polar is most easily diagnosed in teens by, 1) Looking to family history (highly genetic, runs in families), and 2) Extreme irritability and irrationality, the hallmark of Bi Polar (in either phase) is a disconnect of mood from environment. There's no precipitant, and the symptoms are excessive and incapacitating. And (this is a big one), there's a distortion (and often complete collapse) in reality testing, there are psychotic symptoms present. Bi Polar is not 'Moodiness' the way you're using the term, and it's not going from happy to sad. Everyone experiences those (more so in adolescence), but thankfully the symptoms, regardless of how distracting or disturbing, do not rise to the level of Bi Polar.

However, what you're describing does sound like it's getting in the way, so here's what I'd recommend. First, try to exercise some self control there, just because you're feeling something doesn't mean you have to indulge it for long, you can try to stop (or at least distract) yourself, try to snub the feelings before they get too far out of hand. Second, if that doesn't work, tell your folks or some trusted adult and let them get you to a doc who can assess and treat this. And never, ever act on the more extreme fantasies.

As has been said, definitely doesn't sound like Bipolar Disorder. It sounds like you're a 14 year old girl. Basically, your hormones are going whacky, your personality is developing, and your friends are probably changing (you may lose some, may gain some).

You could talk to a school counselor (since obviously, this is troubling you). I don't see that you'd be an outright threat to yourself or others, so a counselor (or a therapist, if you can find one) would prove beneficial. Neither one uses medicine, but they try to talk to you, and help you find ways to cope with feelings.
