Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given symptoms (I remind you that the symptoms you are providing could be biased and may not be properly observed) this behavioral problem seems to be borderline personality disorder.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental illness marked by unstable moods, behavior, and relationships. Most people who have BPD suffer from Problems with regulating emotions and thoughts, Impulsive and reckless behavior and Unstable relationships with other people.

Best treatment includes psychiatric intervention and psychotherapy. Please consult a psychiatrist for further advice.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
