Question: I'm only 12, i think i may have a mental disorder. Either that, or I'm just too emotional. Help.?
for the past month i've been so on and off with being seriously depressed and being happy. during school (usually) fine, my happy, peppy, hyper self. but when i get home i spend a lot of time alone, and as soon as im isolated from the rest of the world without a distraction of some sort, i begin to feel sad.
i think too much and usually end up crying.. sometimes i feel really lonely. it seems that when i get home i never have anybody to talk to, i only have one REAL friend but i barely get to see her cause we live in different cities.. and if im not sad about that, i become nostalgic. to the point in which i start crying.
if im not sad about that i just think so depressingly about the world and everything in it.. my mind always finds a way to make me sad! its only when im with people that im happy. but not all the time, my emotions still go on and off REALLY easily~! sometimes i feel like i have so much potential and want to do so much good for the world, and the rest of the time im so aimless, i lack goals in life, i keep thinking about the reason i'm here on earth, whats the point if we're going to die.. AND THEN i get angry at myself for thinking such negative thoughts! im only in the 8th grade for goodness sake!
i wish i were naive.. maybe its because im in the PACE program.? "gifted", apparently.? i know lots of people with me in the PACE programs who have had emotional troubles.. cutting, depression, etc...
but somtimes i feel so lightheaded and just happy.. i cant stop laughing..
im so confused :S
HELP.? :(
BY THE WAY: sorry that i write so much. when it comes to talking about my emotions, i tend to be like that.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
OK. Now, what you need to do is talk to your parents about this. What I did was go to my local GP/Doctor, told her my problems and she referred me to a mental health facility.
At the start of my depression. The similar started to happen to me. You do really need to get help because if it is depression or a bipolar disorder then it will get worse and worse.
I got help and my life is on the repair - I am on Fluoxetine (An Anti-Depressant) and I also attend therapy. Please just get help and you will get so much better...trust me.Health Question & Answer

Maybe you are bipolar. Basically what that is, is that you get tons of different emotions and switch them a lot. EX: You might be happy right now, but a mniute later, you get mad, but after you get sad.

omg i know exactly what ur talking about, i used to do that before i went to bed everynight and i would cry myself to sleep. it wouldnt matter how my day went id cry. im not sure if im messed up either, or if its normal cause i see u have the same problem. for me it started at like 7th grade and got worse as my dog died, and parents divorced... now im in 10th grade and this doesnt happen as much cause my bf makes me happy.(he lives in another state though T_T)
