This was the only place i could think to put this.

I keep having drastic mood swings, real bad ones, not just normal teenage ones. Each mood phase things lasts from like a day to a week ish.
And they go from like a hyper mood, to a depressive mood.

When im in "hyper mood" im running around (im not aloud to run on medical grounds so i end up almost colapsing while dping this) and doing helium smoking and snorting sherbert (this day was a complete blur, i wasnt with anyone and i wasnt drunk or high)

When im in "depressive mood" i just feel empty and almost inbisible. Ive wrote suicide notes, and attempted to kill myself twice while like this.

I dont know whats wrong with me. Im worried what im gunna do next.
Right now im feeling in a depressive mood, and im scared because when ever the low feelings come back i self harm and i dont want that to happen.

Does anyone havr any idea what might be wrong with me?

I know you cant diagnose anything but just any ideas?

This could very well be bipolar disorder, also called manic depression (or at least it was in the past.) I'll link you to this page (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001924/) which has some more information on the illness. Obviously, I can't say for certain, and so would advise to go visit a psychiatrist as soon as you are able.

Yeah ^ my dad was bipolar and he had weeks that sound exactly like that. I would seriously consider going to a pschyciatrist (i think thats spelled right, and thats the right person to go to, someone correct me if i'm wrong) and get a pshycological evaluation, i think they would do a much more through job than anyone on this site could do. :)

I totally agree with what he said. However, it is not uncommon for many adolescents to experience what you are experiencing - in any case what SuperSuraj said sums it up :)
