Hello everyone, its fan.
Fan has not really been himself lately, and there have been things that have been going on that have causing fluctionation, ok..........i've got to say this (rages), ego conflicts.
Now i have to know that must trust you, because i have not felt this feeling before, but ill tell you. I think i have many sides of myself, i am a very friendly person, but there are other sides of me choose not to talk about. I usally am either...
1)Happy, generous, and always have smile, and make people feel warm.
2)Nuerotic (nerves), lose my keys, lose my bag, i go into a panic rage trying to find things, and wear my self out. Today i lost my backpack, i went besurk.
3)The rejected side, i hate this side because im not charimitic, i feel so lonely, sad depressed, and feel very out of place.
****4)The last and the the one that is usally put undercarpet, and i hate to tell you this I do expereince at times almost intese hate, jeuosly, (i'll explain what triggered this) rages are taken place, and thoughts can go on, And this blackness eats me up inside. This only takes place maybe 1/16 of what i feel sometimes. This is not me! but i have to tell someone, online, therpist, i dont know, i cant tell my parents because its between us!I'll tell you, im scared! im scared! i've been having dreams of this stuff...... and i cant take much more of it. Plaged with all these dreams that are very disturbing!
I cant really tell you what causes this, because thats like spillin the beans! but Misundertanding of my friends, they treat me like im just an aquinatance. Right now im feeling confused, angry.
But is there a medication that maybe could help with this (Xanax does not!) and maybe some advice on managing emotions.
And maybe how to rotate personality, or mood changes so i can get along better with my parents. By the way im 20, and i think i need to be on my own by now but i dont know if im mentally ready to go. Help me? please

What you're describing is, I'm afraid, pretty much normal for everyone. You're describing the human condition -- the answer is to find ways to cope with those conflicting emotions, because you're unlikely to stop having them.
Therapy is a very good option to help learn coping skills. You've said that you were going to start therapy soon, what's going on with that?

There's only so much an internet bulletin board can do. And none of it is practical hands on help.
You have a psychiatrist, I think? What does he think about medications that might help?
And a therapist is in a much better position to help than we can on the internet. We want to help, but we're very limited in what we can do.
If you're in school, there's probably a school counseling center. There are sliding scale therapists. You might want to contact one of the national organizations.
Please find help in the "real" world. We just can't do anything but be supportive, and that isn't enough in difficult situations. You need someone who can help you in more concrete ways. If you have a psychiatrist, perhaps he can direct you to medicinal help and therapy help?
If you think you or anyone else is in any real life jeopardy, please contact someone who can help you more quickly.

hi Fan,
thanks for coming to visit us on the /psycho/ boardI think racer and dinah have good points. I've always noticed your extreme mood instability, at least as much as I can notice from posting behavior.
I hope that you can find a therapist to work with you. You'll be able to figure out what triggers the 1/16 of you to get nasty. you'll be able to find ways to pull out of a depressive slump.
most importantly, you'll have 45 minutes to just BE YOURSELF! no one to judge you, nothing to worry about screwing up. you just talk talk talk and you're doing the right thing. let the therapist do the rest.
I hope you can find someone to help you with your mood instability... it sounds really hard to live with,
best,
ll

I know we have told you this before, but it's time to try something else other than medication. THE-RA-PY.
It's really hard to help someone who doesn't listen to any advice given, yet continues to ask for advice.
I wish you the best of luck. But until you try something to what you are doing, I am afraid you will keep getting the same results.
