Hi,
Do I need to see somebody about this? What could it be?
I'm 20 and have been in full time employment for a year, since I started work I've noticed changes within myself.
I've started having mood swings, one moment I'm fine then something will happen and i'll become either angry or depressed, the anger is horrible I feel blood rushing to my head, my heart starts pounding and I have an overwhelming urge to just hit something, this can be sparked by something extremely trivial, even when I'm in a rage I can still see that I shouldn’t be angry other something so pathetic but I can't do anything about it. The depressed episodes last from 1hour to a 1 day in this time I have no motivation, my head is overloaded with thoughts, I feel generally sad and negative and get no enjoyment from things I usually like, occasionally I cry for no reason.
On top of this I seem to have lost my social skills, I can no longer hold a conversation with someone. They speak to me and I give short or one words answers I want to carry on the conversation but my mind goes blank, it's like somebody literally flicks off a switch in my brain, other times I think of things to say but just cannot get it out, then my talking becomes fast and jittery. All this adds to the frustration, I end up over analysing everything in my head, and my mind feels cluttered.
Thanks in advance!
