What is with these mood swings!?
I am NOT bipolar. It’s not like that at all. I just have tendencies of getting mad, a lot. Like, I will get into an argument with my little brother and it gets bad. I yell and hit him, having No control over it. Just a few minutes later, I will think about it and I will start crying and crap. I can get really bitchy even to my friends and I won’t know why. Say if one of my friends says something that kinda ticks me off, she will say: “Oh look it, Taylor’s getting mad.” And that makes me even madder! Or like I get into arguments with my dad all the time. I will fight just to fight.
I have No clue why my anger gets out of hand so easily. I want to keep my friends. I don’t want for my brother and I when we are older to never talk. And I’m tired of getting into trouble with my parents.
Looking at this, I am starting to wonder if maybe I am bipolar? What should I do? How do I keep my anger down?
P.S: I’m 14 years old. This has been going on for about one or two years.

How old are you Taylor? This might be hormonal. You might also want to talk to a counselor about anger management techniques. Learning how to recognize your triggers and channel them in other directions can really help.

The best thing to do when you feel your anger is getting to you is to walk away from it, count to ten or take deep breaths. You are probably at that age in which anger can get ahead of you with oyur hormones being all over the place.

Woooooahh, we have so much in common! I have a brother aswell & the same things happen, with my friends too, & my parents! I got pretty tired of this happening, but sometimes its almost inevitable, which sucks. I would just cry at night and be miserable. But then I just started having a bit more respect for my dad atleast cause I figured he doesn’t even & never will understand me no matter how much I thought I was right because I wanted to tell him so bad that he was a hypocrit cause he would do the same things & in my room I would throw things and I’d get in even more trouble and curse but not loud enough for him to hear , I still do get into arguements but its better than before and with my friends; I would get really pissed at somethings they said and they one of them would say “Damn Brigitte CHILL ! ” so that even got me more pissed too so I let it all out and told them what I felt because I couldn’t take it anymore!And I was tired of keeping things inside I guess it was better now we’re even better friends than before. My brother and I are pretty tight now ’cause I guess we just spent more time with eachother and I controlled myself more, I was a real bitch, I felt bad for my brother :/. I really hope you get better, I used to feel miserable :[ . Don't worry you're probably not bipolar, it's hormonal , I'm a teenager too. So gooooood lucckk ,You'll get better :]
