Lunice,
I have a friend that was put on antidepressants as a teenager because they thought she was depressed. In her early 20s she was finally sent to doctors that can help and while she doesn't have all the diagnoses that fit what ails her, she never was depressed. She was in pain and nutrient deprived due to autoimmune diseases. Celiac disease destroyed her ability to absorb nutrients very easily.
The symptoms don't sound like depression or bipolar. This could be something as simple as a food allergy.
If you can afford it, definitely see a doctor. They can rule out what isn't wrong. Try to not get caught up with antidepressants/psychiatrists until any serious health issues are ruled out. Even diabetes can cause those symptoms.
I'm not a doctor, but something seems off with you that needs to be resolved. If it were me, I'd get an epilepsy EEG, PET scan, allergy tests, and a full panel of bloodwork to rule out anything else that could be going on.
If vitamins helps you feel better, that might be a hint towards the cause of the issue.
Also if you can get into therapy groups, it might help with outbursts...two that would help with coping skills are dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy. There are also books you can buy that will have exercises and reading to help learn how to cope with your emotions/alter how you respond to certain things.
Hope I've helped some. Good luck
