I have got a question, please answer. Lately I have been feeling different things. One day I will be all upset over nothing. Little things will bother me. Or everything that happens will bother me. I felt like killing myself so badly a couple of days ago. But then the next day I was fine and I even felt happy. I don’t get it. One day I'm really upset and wanting to try drugs and drink, smoke anything. Then the next day I'm fine. I was thinking that I'm just going through some stage. Just being a normal teenager. I'm right aren’t i? I'm asking because in one of my classes, the teacher said that signs of depression were thought of suicide, wanting to try new things (drugs, alcohol), even ditching friends, being moody(喜怒无常的 ) around them. I have experienced all of these, but not for long periods. Just I go in and out of these. So am I fine right and i have nothing to worry about? Please answer me. I'm so totally confused (困惑 ). Please give me any info you can. And please don’t put a subject on it. I really don’t want my mom to read it. Thanks a lot.
