Mood Swings
I'm a guy. I'm 16. Why am I having constant mood swings? I've been like this for about the last month. Every little thing that people do that I would normally just say "oh well" to gets me really irritated. I even sometimes get so angry that I yell at people. One minute I'm ready to kill someone, the next I'm fine. Can anyone tell me why I'm like this or what I can do to cure it? This is really ruining my relationship between me and my girlfriend. Thanks
P.S. Please don't laugh at or make fun of me, this is really affecting me.

What you are going through are hormonal changes. Your body\system is going thru probably the most profound change it ever will. Next to male menopause. And it is not funny. This could be a rough ride until your body\system settles down. Please for the sake of your family and friends and yourself when something happens and you feel like getting torqued off count to ten. I found after years of it if I practiced in my head a response first that was polite I could get it to kick in automatically and give me time to cool down. If it seems like it happens way to often then I would go on my own and consult with a Dr. This would be something to help in case the anger gets away from you to often. Above all else find someone you trust to talk with about it, he\she may be able to help you with it. Be positive and good luck to you. Oh and be honest with your girlfriend hiding stuff never pays off.

hey im 17 and im the exact same way right now so ur not alone. sometimes i just stay away from my mom so i wont say anything ill regret cause i respect her alot and i dont want to put any more stress on her. as with friends its kinda messed things up cause half the time i have that "i dont give a rats rear end" kinda mood. i dont like it too much. like what 68 torino said, count to 10 and just try to handle the situation as calmy as u can. it may be hard to do so at the time but when u do, the next day ull look back on the situation and feel better about it.

I'm 21 and i'm still doing this, been doing it for about 5 months now...sometimes i'm the most sociable and likeable person you could possibly know, other times, i'm ready to rip someones head off just for looking at me the wrong way.
Don't know what causes it at my age, but i need something to fix it...as its starting to get disturbing, to me and everyone else.

Been there-done that. All I can tell you guys is to just not get violent. When I was growing up, it was pretty much expected that we would get into fights; cause problems; do stupid things. With the way things are today, you will go to jail for doing the same thing I did 40 years ago. (Unless I am on your jury-which by the way I am on jury duty this month). The best advice is to just calm down. Most of the time the things that set you off are really not worth the effort. Just make sure if you do something physical to anybody, you can defend it. I am really glad I was a teenager in the 60's. Nobody ever wanted to put me in jail for TPing the principle's house. Good luck guys!

Is it worst around when you would normally eat, i.e., are you most aggressive when hungry? I am trying to get an appointment set up for the same thing now, it has been suggested that it might be hypoglycemia (sp?).

When it first started I thought it was because I wasn't getting enough sleep, but its still there somewhat no matter how much sleep I get. I was talking on th phone with my girlfriend last night and I tried that counting to 10 thing. It really worked!! She wondered why I was silent for so long because at times I had to count to 25 but after I told her what I was doing she was fine with it. It seems easier to control after reading what all of you said. I must understand my problem more and now I'm trying not to let it affect me. Thanks guys!
