Manic-Depressive??: Your very brief description sounds like you are suffering from classic manic depression illness. If you are there are good treatments for it. I don't know where you live. Psychiatrists charge an obscene amount of money. If your economic circumstances permit check out university medical center clinics with sliding fee scales.

Evaluation: Get a full psychiatric evaluation to determine what is bothering you, and inquire if medication is warranted. Also, get a referral for a reputable psychotherapist.
