" Get to a counselor, a therapist... Someone with psych degree. You can do this by mentioning it to your school, your doctor, your parents... This is not a diagnosis site, though. All there are are other people your age. I suppose the real doctors randomly check in on here, but they'd tell you just the same. It takes a good while to diagnos, and certainly is impossible to say yay or ney from one post especially :P

SO.
Find some St. Johns Wart. It's an herbal thing. You can find it at a grocery store or a place like Whole Foods. Try a whole bottle of that and see where it gets you (not all at once LOL follow the directions)

During this time, google "mood chart" and make your own. It will do you some good no matter what to see how you react to things daily in life.

Please, tho, get to a doc if you're worried. Just try any alternatives before they get you hopped up on pharm pills.

Good luck. "
