Hello,
Okay so I'm almost sixteen and I'm female but I'm having a little bit of a problem. First I'm wondering if it's normal to be having this many mood swings? One minute I'll be all happy and cheerful but the very next minute I'll be all sad and angry. My emotions are a roller coaster that never stops. It's up and down and up and down and its so emotionally and physically draining...I just think to myself I just need to be one of the other ya know. So is this just normal mood swings or is this something more?
Thanks for all your help,

Hi fashiongurl,
I dont mean to be upfront, but could it be your period?
If you can, as I have said before, you may want to see a T. You have a lot to discuss with them, from what you have told me on here.
I hope things get better.
Best,
Clyde
fashiongurl, it might be normal. Hormones during puberty can take you on the roller coaster you describe. If you feel they are out of control, that you are feeling that you have stronger swings than say your friends do, then talk to your doctor about it. There might be a simple solution of a medication to help balance you out while going through this maturation process.
