This is kind of hard explain...but I will try the best I can. I think I might be depressed. At lunch the other day, I cried for no reason at all, then out of nowhere I laughed in a bit of a psychotic way, then put my head down to cry again.. Also, I cried for no reason I can think of the day before that. My eating habits have changed a bit..I don't eat lunch anymore, I never ate breakfast in the first place, and at dinner I just pick at my food. I have thought about suicide before, and in the recent past I have cut myself. I find it hard to sleep. It takes at least 45 minutes for me to go to sleep. I haven't been too energetic lately. I make pretty good grades and am usually really good in school, but lately I can't concentrate on what I am doing. When I am reading I have to read a paragraph at least 5 times to get it in my head, but as I continue reading I lose all information anyway. I have had people tell me for well over a year that I shake alot, or something but I kind of don't notice..
So like the subject says, I am asking if there is something wrong with me?

We can't diagnose you with anything. If you think something is wrong with you, you need to talk to your parents and go see a doctor. From there, you can see a counsellor or psychologist if your parents/doctor think it is necessary. If you happen to have something like depression, you can get professional help and/or medication for it.

It should be a last resort type of deal. It's dangerous to get into those "happy pills"

Okay, "happy pills" are not dangerous. Anti-depressants are designed to help restore balance of certain chemicals in your brain. There is nothing wrong with taking them, and nothing bad about them.
Now, to the OP... it honestly sounds like you need to see your doctor and discuss what you just told us. Severe changes in appetite and sleeping patterns are signs of depression. You may also have bipolar disorder, also known as "Manic/Depressive" which is pretty mcuh major mood swings for no reason.
But like you were already told, we can't diagnose you with anything. We can just give advice, and that advice is to go to someone who CAN diagnose you and can help you.

It may just be your age. It happens to a lot of teenagers because of hormones.
You never said if anything was troubling you. If there is a specific thing making you unhappy then I suggest you tackle that. If that is the problem then once it's sorted the rest of your life should fall back into place.

Happy Pills are dangerous.
Chemicals that affect the balance of hormones in your system and the neuro transmitters are highly addictive and it would be a mistake to become reliant on them unless it is a last resort.
Finding a way to cope with symptoms of depression other than drugs helps the depression itself as it gives that person a sense of achievement and self worth.
To thread author: I know you don't feel like it but try to eat normally and regularly even if you only have a little every few hours, regulating your blood sugar will help your body maintain its hormonal balance and may help to reduce the effects of the mood swings.
