As said in the title whast the diffrence between normal teen angst/mood swings vs. something you should go to a therapist for. I can be set off by a single comment into a depresive spiral. One time I thought I did bad at soemthing and I got so depressed I thought about going to my local train station/car and just getting run over. In an hour or so I was fine. Another time my brother made a slight comment towards me that I got so depressed that I took out the knife from our kitchen and almost cut myself. Like last time I got better within 1 hour.

Is this normal teen mood swings or should I get this checked out

Hey, first of all, thank you for sharing this with us. While it might now be in our part to say what is normal and what is not, mood swings can be pretty overwhelming. How are you coping with it? And have you given a thought to seeing a professional about it?
