I'm 22, F.

I come from an extremely unstable background, full of all kinds of abuse and isolation. I didn't go to school from third grade until college, and I think I'm above average intelligence b/c at 19 I finished three years of hs in one.

I'm living with friends and doing really good in college. I have a counceller but she dosn't have "letters" after her name.

I don't have much life experiance but I do have mood swings. However, they seem to be constantly triggered, not spontaneous. If I get a good grade I'm extatic, but if a classmate name-calls me I want to quit school, or if someone teases me I yell at them very quickly. This can all happen in a matter of a few minutes.

Are they really mood swings if they are provoked?

Normally I'm just really happy which people find wierd.
