Hello and thanks for writing in.

I understand that you are going through a difficult time. From the description of your symptoms, it appears that you are going through a depression. Excessive crying, weird moods, feeling low, etc. are all symptoms of depression.

Since your symptoms seem to be bothering you a lot, I would advise you to seek professional help. Don't worry, there are effective treatment options to help you come out of this phase. There are medication called antidepressants as well as the option of psychological therapy like CBT.

So, please ask your parents or guardian to take you to a psychiatrist for a consultation and further treatment.

Regards,
