Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. You appear to be suffering from a mood disorder, probably cyclothymic or could be even bipolar disorder. You definitely need to see a doctor for this. Furthermore, you will need a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help you overcome your problems. Wish you all the best. -
