Q: Its really strange one second i am extremely happy, bubbly and talk-a-tive and the then next moment i dont want anyone around me. I was listening to a song that i have heard a million times then i just started crying (while walking down the street). It is so horrible and i hate it. My moods/emotions are all over the place. What could be the cause of this? (Btw im 17 and no it is not that time of the month). Thanks! my dad is always yelling at me and i cant seem to do anything right and my friends - im kinda sick of them (i know it sounds mean) and im ready for a change.
A: Well, it could be a number of things. It could be your age, seriously. When I was 17, I was the moodiest mare one minute, and the life and soul of the party the next, no one knew whether they were coming or going around me! (I haven't changed much, either, and I'm 32 soon!) Do you have anything traumatic or stressful happening in your life at the moment, or did something happen recently that could have subconsciously got you feeling depressed? Everything from hormones (not necessarily the time of the month) to changes in the weather can affect our moods. If you feel concerned about it though, or you don't appear to be feeling any better after a week or so, I'd visit your GP/doctor and just mention it. What can it hurt?
