I don't know what i'm feeling

Hello.
For the past while I've had these strange up and down emotions. I go from feeling completely content and comfortable with myself, to elated, to self-loathing feelings of depression. I've gone up and down like this all week, sometimes twice a day. And recently I've been feeling somewhere in-between. Not elated, but not depressed. Neither happy nor sad. But it feels intense enough to make me cry all the same. What is this? Is it normal?

P.S. I’m an 18 year old male. I don’t want to blame hormones, because I’ve felt angst before (obviously) and this is not it, I’m sure.

    i think you are being emotional because of something that's not going well in your life. or maybe it's just your personality, like me. or maybe you watch too much tv/soap operas. watever the case, I feel the same way and i think you should find something you like and stick to it. for instance, whenever i feel down or upset or emotional, i listen to music and it makes me feel better

    Oh I know what you mean usually I listen to up beat music. Its the only thing that lightens my mood and actually makes me feel some emotion. I heard that when people spend a lot of time on the internet they usually feel little to no emotion. So it could be that.

    Hormones, man! Simple as that. I get these all the time and my mom said they will go away when we're older. Just gotta wait it out, I suppose =)

    A lot of people experiencing theses feeling because they live in this f-up word and it can cause these feelings, which is now being diagnosed as bi-polar

    Nerves, life effects, diet change, lack of activity.
    Go out, and spend a day for yourself. See how you feel, you're probably just down. :(

    You may even have mild depression. Non the less you need go see your doctor. They will be able to help you. I suffer from depression and it's horrible. I have no real interest in anything and I'm very insecure.

    Yeah I agree with the person above. Sounds like bipolar. You should go see your doctor. All the best.

      I heard you need to be depressed/manic for more than two weeks for it to be considered bipolar, I'm up and down daily.
