writes:i got two sides to me. one is fun, free loves hanging out with mates and having a laugh. cheeky and sharp. adventurous and ambitious. i like guys who are like this as well. I'm this side more in public, around ppl etc. the other side is quiet, sad and depressed. very shy not outspoken and wants to keep to themselves. really creative. quite jealous. contemplative about the future, ppl and what ppl think. i like guys like this too. more than the outgoing ones. neither is my true self as there both me. one wants a career and a good life. and to prove that i am somebody. the other wants to give up now. its messing up my head. I'm one person with 2 personalities. i dont know what to do???

Therefore I just keep quiet, stay shy. Hopefully one day ill find the answer im looking for inside myself.

reader, anonymous, writes (26 November 2007): I am not so quick to suggest any mental illness or even depression. To be honest I beleive many people are similar.I am. I thoroughly enjoy a laugh, being the centre of attention at times, making things 'happen' and like a sarcastic sense of humor and a fairly challenging relationship. Thats one me! The other, like you is reflective and searching for the meaning of life, sad often, and really just wanting someone to take over and look after me! Being many years older than you, I can suggest that alot of this has to do with our energy levels, if your a bit bored, lazy and really not so motivated. When your feeling on top of the world, something stimulating is happening you start to spark.I think personally, that this is quite normal and even though at the low points you feel you may be overreacting or overly down for no aparent reason, it passess and things move on.Your only young and still trying to find yourself, so you will natuarally be contemplative at this time in your life.

 Hi this is very common for everyone.. you just need to relax and if you feel the need to, see a doctor just so you can talk to someone face to face directly about your problem. I dont think you are fully depressed, however you are confused as to your feelings.. I really hope you feel better soon and are ok, Feel free to mail me about anythin :) x

 I feel the exact same way alot of the time, ever hear of bi-polar disorder?I'm looking into it because it suits those symptoms pretty well.

 I'm not a doctor, but I am familiar with mental health issues {I was diagnosed with seasonal depression last winter}: sounds to me like your description reminded me a little of manic depression, or bipolarity, same thing. here's a test, see what you think. http://www.healthyplace.com/Communities/Depression/nimh/bipolar_screening_test.asp
There may verywell be nothing wrong with you, maybe it woul help to see a counselor anyway, it never hurts anyone [or if it does you have the wrong counselor!]
Good luck~
