I have quick changes in my mood. I'll start crying over someone shutting the door too hard or yell in a second. My mom says my moods are like switching on and off a light. I didn't really realize this. It wasn't a problem for me but people keep getting mad at me for being nice and then a ***** in a second. Am I just too sensitive or irritable? Or could this be connected to some disorder? btw my mom has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder but I don't think I fit that criteria.
 
Well, and I'm really not trying to say this in a negative way, this kind of behaviour is pretty common in teenagers. I remember that I flew off the handle pretty quickly when I was younger, and have since calmed down dramatically.

People here will probably tell you that this is bipolar disorder, but it absolutely isn't. It doesn't sound very much like any disorder I know of.

If it gets to be a significant issue, then perhaps you should visit a doctor about it.
