I don't know what's wrong with me...

[Neave14]

For the last few weeks my emotions have been all over the place. One minute I'm super happy and then for the rest of the time I'm super sad, or empty. That's how I would describe this new 'me' empty. And I hate it, I really don't know what to do. So much has been going on and I put on a brave face and fake this big smile and pretend I am super happy but behind closed doors I am clueless on what to do. My grades have been dropping and my concentration has been all over the place and I'm always tired. Someone help me to sort myself out, please.

Hi Neave,

Welcome to the forum!

Good on you for seeking help only a few weeks after you've noticed this change in your emotional state. Has a stressful event or situation happened recently, before you noticed this change?

Making an appointment to see a doctor (GP) for a mental health check-up is a good idea. Explain in detail how you've been feeling and what's concerning you, and they will offer guidance and can refer you to another professional, if that is necessary.

Helplines can also be a good source of info if you're having a difficult day or need some advice. Beyondblue is reachable 24/7 on 1300 22 4636.

Here are two great sites I recommend for mental health info and tips:

http://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/resources/consumers.cfm

http://www.mindhealthconnect.org.au/

It's also worth checking out resources here on the Beyondblue site.

It would be great to hear back from you. If you want to explain your situation further or ask questions, you are welcome to 🙂

Best wishes,

Zeal
