Question
Throughout my entire life, I've always had moods that are erratic and spontaneous. I go from being really ecstatic and happy and feeling wonderful to be furious and mad at the world to being sad and feeling alone. I know it's not a 'teenage angst' thing, because I've felt like this since elementary school. I've learned to somewhat cope with this and my feelings, but it's starting to become too much.
I'm at an all-time low in my life right now and really depressed, the most I've ever been. Over the past year, all of my close and good friends that I cherished have turned their backs on me because of the previous breakup I went through with my boyfriend. Everyone started ignoring me when I got upset, and that did nothing but fuel it into depression. As of lately, it's been made clear that they don't want to be friends at all. I didn't know what to do then, and I still don't. It hurts me so bad, and my ability to cope with things only go so far.
What do you do when you need someone to talk and be close to, but there is literally no one around...?

I'm sorry honey that you're going through this. It sounds like you really need to talk to a professional. I've been in your shoes before and felt like I couldn't cope with life at all but I heard someone say "it's your life so you can make the best of it or the worst but you only live once". I don't know why that resonated so much with me but it did so the next day I went to a therapist and I have to say it's the best decision I ever made. We all go through ups and downs but you deserve happiness just like the rest of us. :)
Yeah, you really need to go talk to someone. United Way has professional therapists/psychiatrists. Your mood swings really sound like you might be manic depressed. But you have to talk to someone and they will be able to test you and give you something to even out the mood swings.
It's hard feeling that way. Been there, I went and found a therapist who was awesome. It was just like a weight being lifted off me, to have some one validate my issues, only then was I able to work through them, gain my self worth back, confidence, and self love. Through times like these you realize who your true friends are.
I'm sorry you're going it alone, but you don't have to. (((hugs)))
oh my gosh i just came across this post and it sounded like myself, so just know that you aren't alone. i completely know how it feels to be up one minute and down the next, and sometimes the highs last for a few days and sometimes the lows can last for months, which sounds like what you're going through right now.
my advice to you would be that there is no shame in going to see someone, like a therapist, because honestly everyone needs a little help now and then and sometimes even the people closest to you can't fix the way you're feeling. if it's something you're having trouble working through on your own, i would definitely recommend going to see someone.
don't ever feel like you're alone, so many other people out there are going through something similar every day, and it WILL get better, i promise you.
This is exactlyyy me!
The same situation with the ex boyfriend and losing all your closest friends and being all depressed! I know how you feel, <3
The first thing you got to do is see a professional, and if you feel alone, meet new people! My closest friends turned their backs on me because of a decision I made, and I thought "F*ck that" and I went out and met new people.
And I met this new guy whose making me feel amazing. :-)
I'm still recovering with all the hate I recieve, but, hey, who said life was easy? :-) Life may seem unfair at times, but, such is lifeee. :-)
Just smile. :-)
Things always get better at the end, and if it hasn't gotten better yet, it's not the end. <3
Sounds a little like bipolar... Log your moods how they change, when. And go get some help (saved my life)
