It sounds like there could be something like bipolar or depression there - but it could be other things too and you need to get checked out by a physician to figure it out. These are treatable problems - not because of any weakness or craziness on your part. if you don't want to ask to see a psychiatrist ask your parents to have a visit with your pediatrician and tell her what you have been going through. I would also encourage you to think about bringing this up with your parents- they will want to do whatever they can to help you - it may seem scary at first - but this is something you need help with - can't do it alone - keep us posted on how you are doing - Dr. Fink Hi Darryl -

if you don’t want to ask to see a psychiatrist ask your parents to have a visit with your pediatrician and tell her what you have been going through. I would also encourage you to think about bringing this up with your parents- they will want to do whatever they can to help you – it may seem scary at first – but this is something you need help with – can’t do it alone –
