I've been depressed lately and my mood has been changing a lot and it's driving me crazy, it's always depressed, then to anger, and then to just flat. It's been going in a 2-6 hour cycle since I was 12 and it has been getting worse. I have no idea on what to do. Anytime I get angry, I always end up yelling at my family and then I feel really bad afterwards.

Also, I should mention that I have been seeing, "stars", everywhere I go, and It's getting really irritating.

Do you have bipolar?

Oh boy, that's tough.
About the stars-- See an eye doctor NOW! It could be harmless, or it could be something that precedes going blind unless you get it treated.
Your mood swings could be part of being a teenager, or it could be something that medication could help. You need to see some doctors who are willing to explain things to you.

Thank you for the advice, I really should go see a doctor, but I haven't got around to it. And about the stars, I kinda feel like I'm schizophrenic, but I know whats there and not, like, If you ever look in the sky and you see a whole bunch of moving squiggly lines. I really don't know, and yes I am bipolar but I don't take any medication. Is that a bad thing?

You should probably be on some sort of medication if you're bipolar and have AS. I don't know if I'm bipolar or not but I have depression and AS and I take Depakote as a mood stabilizer. And if you do get on a mood stabilizer, I'd recommend not taking Lamictal, I was on it for a while and it didn't work for me and later I heard it wasn't good for people with AS.
