The one reason I might consider that is I don't know why but some days for instance when I'm out with friends people I've known since high school, I feel really disconeccted, no body will talk to me, or at least recognize me that they might say oh hey simon, it feels like no body ackknowledges me. Accept for one friend my smoking buddy who I am still in school with. When I get like this it can last for a couple days and I get intense feelings to commit suicide like I don't belong anywhere that I don't fit in. Then on somedays like right now I feel excited to learn abotu life, to explore it and see where it takes me. I just am tired of feeling this way the best way I can describe it is Bi-Polar, but that is something hard to I guess Diagnose when people's moods change all the time. But for me I only operate in emotional extremes, It is never just average either I feel very excited, or just very depressed.
The roller coaster of emotion you speak of is caused by all of the false beliefs you've swallowed, and contrary to some opinions, it takes a LOT of work to fix things. You are not alone and this does not make you special. MOST people are either in the same boat you are in, or they haven't even made it to the boat yet. If you accept a belief of bi-polar, or the need of drugs, you become different from others in your mind. How is this helpful? It will only stoke the fire of fear, or will make you complacent.
Much better to believe that what you are going through is normal. When you realise you're in the same boat as everyone else, it won't seem so bad. In this way, you can begin to ask, what can -I- do about it.
Go to the book store and start combing through the self-help section. The only helpless people are those who believe they can't help themselves. The only happy people are those who did. Just the very idea that you can be your own master will light a spark inside of you. Start fighting and don't stop.
Being a fighter doesn't mean jumping in the ring and slugging it out with every ounce of energy you have. It means being patient, having some self compassion, opening your eyes to the plight of others, valuing the small joys in life, and having faith in yourself.
Consider researching chakra meditation. Helpful thought patterns are just overlays for emotional states. Chakras will take you to the source. Much to be found in chakra meditation.

Dude, That is such perfect advice. No therapist could do better IMO.
