I'm 16, female, and am diagnosed with depression that I am getting counselling for. I'm having real troubles with my mood swings lately. The ups and downs in themselves are hard work and making me so tired and slugish which makes me more miserable.
I'm starting to dread having a good day because I know the evening or day after is going to be awful with a low mood, bad temper and random tears. It is pathetic but I find myself ensuring my day isn't too good because if I get a mood swing them it feels so much worse in comparison. It's taking over my life and on the 4th I'll be back in school taking very important exams and I so don't want this to be effecting me! All I want to do is curl up and sleep then cry and cut. My whole world revolves around this at the moment. It's driving me insane and it's getting my friends and family down.
Please give me some advice on how to deal with these times! I pretend they aren't happening a lot for the sake of my family but that doesn't make me FEEL any better. I know this is all totally stupid and pathetic of me but I'm getting desperate. Any advice is good.
Thank you. x
