Do you swing rapidly in one day? If so then it could be borderline personality disorder. I swing wildly at times from being quite a rational human being to a rage controlled monster. It sucks. Have you had a proper diagnosis at all?

Itzjustme 07/20/2009

in one day i can go from ok, to bad, to ok, to why am i here, to ok....its bad wen i do that at school! cuz ill just stop doing work....nope i havent gotten a diagnoses yet

deleted_user 07/20/2009

Hassle the doc as much as possible to find out. Once you know it gets a little easier somehow

could mood swings stop by themselves?

deleted_user 07/20/2009

Mood swings probably won't just go away by themselves. But they could go away with proper medication and therapy. Why is your dad stopping your therapy? What does the therapist say about that?

deleted_user 07/20/2009

Before attaching a label to yourself, and giving yourself another thing to feel anxious about.....and assuming you can't be diagnosed right now....please understand that for some people, it is possible to get much greater control over the mood swings.

When I was younger, certain (external) things would easily trigger me into angry, happy, anxious, or depressed episodes.As I have gotten older, I have become much better at controlling my moods and accepting things that used to trigger negativity (as well as accepting things that I have no control over). I never used medication. For me it just took time and a willingness to maintain a calm and rational perspective of situations as they related to my emotions.

Best of luck to you.

If you find some kind of cure let me know because I got nothing. Sorry.
