Why do I suddenly go from feeling fine to feeling depressed?
Why is it that one minute I'm feeling happy, and the next minute I just want to die? There's often no external reason for these mood changes, it's just like a switch has been flicked. This tends to happen 4-5 times per week, and when it does I often end up hurting myself. Last week I woke up after an enjoyable night out to find at least a pint of blood in my sink - because I'd had a random mood change after I'd got back. Everyone thinks of me as one of the happiest people they know - no one would believe you if you told them this about me - which just makes this harder to deal with. I spend my whole life having to wear long sleeves to cover the marks I've made and I just want to stop having to deal with this. What is wrong with me?

Hi. I've had a look at your previous questions and you do seem to be showing symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Have a look at the link below to see if you identify with it. Whether you have BPD or not you really need to see your GP for professional help. You can't carry on like this as you aren't going to get better by yourself.
"A doctor may diagnose you with borderline personality disorder if you have five or more of these symptoms and if the symptoms have a significant impact on your everyday life.
you have emotions that are up and down (for example, feeling confident one day and feeling despair another), with feelings of emptiness and often anger
you find it difficult to make and maintain relationships
you have an unstable sense of identity, such as thinking differently about yourself depending on who you are with
you take risks or do things without thinking about the consequences
you harm yourself or think about harming yourself (for example, cutting yourself or overdosing)
you fear being abandoned or rejected or being alone
you sometimes believe in things that are not real or true (called delusions) or see or hear things that are not really there (called hallucinations).
If you have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder you may be more likely to experience other mental health related problems, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders or substance misuse (misusing drugs or alcohol)."

Maybe it's time you went to see your doctor. Only he or she can diagnose what is wrong and prescribe something to help you. Don't be frightened of medication. It can really help. It stabilises moods and will really help. Be brave. Be strong. Take back control if your life and do what you need to to help yourself have the life you want to.
