What's wrong with me?

I have moments when I am happy and optimistic, but one little thing such as something that would make normal people just sad puts me down so bad. I usually end up depressed for two or three weeks and I feel like I want to end my life in these moods. I don't know what is wrong with me. I have posted here before during a time I've been depressed. I have plans for my death but they are always connected to these moods and events that bring me down. If anyone could tell me what is wrong with me, I'd be grateful.

Again I'm terribly sorry for my disjointed posts and I hope I posted this in the right area.

Have you been to see a mental health specialist to get formally diagnosed if you have a mental illness or not? I am not by any means a professional but it sounds like you are bipolar. You go from highs to lows, it seems to be a cycle that repeats itself.

how many days are you happy and optimistic do you think? are you always happy and optimistic for the same number of days or does something set you off that triggers the depression? Maybe keep a calendar and keep track of your moods and may see a pattern or cycle that has developed?

Hey there. I feel like lots of people here really relate to what you're saying here. Really high highs and really low lows. Could be a bi-polar thing or could just be depression that you feel really deeply and intensely when it hits. It just comes to you suddenly without warning. I don't know how terribly abnormal that is in the grand scheme of mental health issues but overall it's abnormal because you feel bad and are here telling us how it's messing with your life. Have you talked to someone about this? These things are usually pretty well medicated.
