What is wrong with me?

I am not sure what is wrong with me, but here are my symptoms.  

* Continuously changing moods (Happy one hour, mad or sad the next)
* Mood swings are severe (not just unhappy....HATRED)
* Little things set me off (I scream and curse and can feel my BP going up)
* Never feel calm
* Racing thoughts (I never....ever.....think of nothing)
* Used to cry for no reason and was put on Zoloft, until I had a baby (guess my hormones changed)
* Yell and grip at my husband and child all the time

My mom says that I need help and that I need something to mellow me out.  I went to the doctor who told me that I suffered from depression.  She said that it can manifest itself in different ways.  I have a wonderful life and have nothing to be unhappy out.  I went to counselor to discuss my symptoms and she told me "This is just your personality".  Well, I don't want it anymore.  I want to be happy.  What could be wrong with me.

I am certainly no doctor... but I feel strongly that if your gut instinct tells you, you need help or you are unhappy you should find that help.... go to your md, and get a refferal.  

Hope You feel Better Soon

I agree with those above; self-diagnosis or diagnosis by forum members can lead you in the wrong direction but sometimes having some ideas before asking for the right help can be useful. Have you read anything about "boderline personality disorder". This is a mental health problem, not just a personality problem and your symptoms may fit. Treatment is more therapy than meds.
Hope this helps, good luck.
