I get rapid mood swings that I can't seam to control. Sometimes I can get so sad i cry on random occasions and i spend long hours sleeping. I get unusually pissed off when someone tries to talk to me. Sometimes, i find it incredibly hard to even keep a conversation. When i feel low, I have this huge indifference... i want to do alot of bad things like drink, drop acid, party, cut myself. Sometimes though I feel pretty happy, i get good ideas, i feel like i could change the world. i feel needed and wanted. but then it changes again, and i feel kind of High, like crazy, happy, but i still want to do bad things. Ive tried explaining this to my parents and to my friends but they say its normal. Is it?

Haha, oh come on :D Even this http://www.directory.my/category/Computers_2.html has more info than this post! :D
Yes, I agree with bp2hope...some of this does seem to be too extreme.
You do need to talk to anyone you can that you trust, and see if you can get them to believe you, or even explain it more to your parents.
You can also try to talk to your doctor, a school counselor or your local minister.

Hi Niiki,
While it is normal for teens to experience some intense moods, what you are describing sounds more severe/extreme. Keep trying to explain your feelings like you did here until you find someone who will take you seriously. You might also want to read up on bipolar disorder and see how that "fits." Do you have a doctor, school counselor, teacher, minister, someone you could trust to help you? Please take the steps to get help: life doesn't have to feel this out-of-control.
