Have you talked to a psychiatrist? You are describing mixed moods. Perhaps you have a mood disorder. A psychiatrist could evaluate you and give you a diagnosis. With the proper medication you could have relief from the symptoms. I hope you will go see a psychiatrist. You don't have to live life feeling this way.

also i have been thinking ...my mood changes got worse after i started the meds...i remember the first month after they started to kick in that i talked alot more than usual a little to much actually and was happier...i thought that i was getting better...i had told my doctor how i felt and he told me that was good....could he have been wrong because i read that ssri can trigger bipolar disorder...(my grandma was bipolar from what ive heard)

I am bipolar and borderline personality.

Borderline personality is when you feel like hurting yourself, because of rejection.

Bipolar is when you have manic moods and depression.

You really need to explain to the doctor how you are feeling and why you feel that way. So they know which one you are dealing with.

It can take time to get straightened out on medications so hang in there.
