Hi, so I have a friend who is a psychology
major who thinks i may be depressed, I
know I have a victim complex and other
issues for various reasons. Is there any
really concrete way to kind of....evaluate
yourself to see if you may be
depressed/bipolar/ manic depreesive etc?

I don't quite understand you post. Can you
be more explicite with your symtoms? We
need more information about your feelings
and things that might trigger these
feelings. Hard to help with what you have
posted above. We are here to help. You
just need to be more open.

well it's mainly a constant sudden change
in mood. I get this feeling of being
hopeless and I just break down. I've got
some pretty traumatized history that adds
to the way my emotion builds up and just
explodes. I was molested by two different
people, my mom died when i was 13, i grew
up as the stereotypical "fat kid" and all
that goes with it (constant teasing,
bullying, not fitting in etc.) I have
contemplated suicide before and almost
commited suicide twice. I have what is
called a "victim complex". I tend to act
like everything is perfectly fine and
dandy when it's not (very good at
conceiling my emotions, part of being an
actor) I constantly feel like everything i
try is not good enough like i'll never go
anywhere. I'm often lonely, even when i'm
not a lone.I also tend to push people away
when i start to care too much or i do the
opposite and care too much to fast. I also
have a fear of being left behind by the
peopl i love. that's all i can really
think of.....

Sounds almosst like you may be a passive
aggressive. You may want to look into mood
stablizers to help you through. Bipolar is
a hit or miss situation as far as getting
the right cocktail. But, once you are on
them, you may feel much better and your
inner anger will subside somewhat.

Yes, it sounds to me like you have
depression. HOwever, only a psychologist
can make that diagnosis. If you google
"depression screening", you should find
some tests you can take which will at
least give you an idea. Also, if you're in
school, you should be able to get screened
at your health center on campus.
