mood swings much? Options

[lKVNiiKINKYl]

So this is kind of a weird question.
Here's a little background about me.
I'm a senior and I am openly gay. I get made fun of a lot because of that but in a joking matter and I am usually cool with it. There are moments there where I just lose it and I really have these mood swings. Like I usually don't care and I always make fun of myself too, but there are just like moments where I just am neurotic and lose my mind and I really don't know why. There is no significant reason why I should be and I mean when I do have these moments they aren't always when we are screwing around and I was just wondering like if it was a psychological thing or something haha. Well, thanks.

it could be i mean is it really uncontrollable? are there indications where you know before hand that you're going to loose it? i'm not a pyschologist but it might be if you really can't control them or what you say during these mood swings. im not really sure but you can check with a psychologist in school or something if you feel its that serious, but it doesn't sound severe that your not crazy or anything, mood swings are normal everyone has pms both boys and girls.

do you have history of bipolar disorder

or sometimes does the joking get so overwhelming?
i know that sometimes happens to me.
i let people call me a wetback or spic all the time.
and i let people openly insuly my ethnicity.beacuse words are jsut words.
but sometimes it gets ovewhelming

there isn't a sign and like regardless of what someone is saying ill just take it offensive suddenly and freak out

theres no history in my family of bipolar or anything
like maybe its just male moodswings hahah

[mznikki]

lol it probably is just moodswings can't really help that its normal.

[lKVNiiKINKYl]

well, i am reading up on bipolar and a lot of applies to me, but then again anything i read i think i apply it to myself haha.

[mznikki]

lol well if you really think its that serious get an appointment to see a psychologist even if its not for diagnosis or anything maybe just to even talk.. eveyrone needs someone to rant at..at least that person you know can't tell anyone haha

Maybe, you arent really a homo. You're a bi. And you probably arent fully "gay".

idk.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

Maybe you're a little insecure and you think that people actually mean it sometimes.

Wow, I just read something about moodswings in a book I was reading. And if you have problems with it... try this? It might sound a little stupid, but hey, if it helps you, thats cool, right?

Anyways, it says;

When your moods are really swinging, sit yourself down and get a grip. Mix a few drops of essential oil (lavender is calming, mint is a pick-me-up) with an inexpensive body lotion like Nivea or Lubiderm in your palm, inhale, apply to your body, and enjoy the mood boost you'll get from the aromatherapeutic properties of the oil. --Rona Berg

Maybe that means nothing to you? Figured I'd share though just incase.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. LMFAO. THAT'S SILLY.

[*mona lisa*]

^Why/how is it silly?

Anyway, I think that it may be anger you subconciously feel in response to these "jokes". Perhaps you think you can tolerate and deal with these jokes but, in reality, you no longer find them funny.

The mind is a strange thing.

i really am thinking its this, but like a part of my inside really is thinking like theres something messed up with me. i want to go to a psychologist, but i dont think i have the balls to go lol. i mean, ironically psychology is what i want to major in but i am really scared of going because if i do go and something is wrong, i would freaaaaak out and i plus the whole money issue is a problem. arent psychologists expensive?

I remember in high school, there was a school psychiatrist/counselor person that students could go to when they were troubled. I don't know if you have that, or if you do that you'd be comfortable going to them, but it's a thought

Maybe sometimes it doesn't seem funny to your head so it doesn't function.. normally? so then you end up having mood swings?

It could also be something you eat.
Usually foods can do stuff for girls' mood swings.
But I have no clue about guys..

[DarkImpressions]

Umm how old are you because sometimes mood changes come during the teenage years.
