Am I Bipolar ?????? Posted: 02-28-07 21:14pm
I think I might be bipolar, but are people
who think they are bipolar, bipolar? I
don't know it happens in phases I am happy
for a little while, not the I'm on top of
the world happy more like I'm content with
myself and then the next minute I am so
upset and cry alot, like crying myself to
sleep, and I think about killing myself!
I cant carry it out but I don't know one
day I might and I don't want to but when
I'm upset who knows what I'll do I don't
!!!!!
I would like to let my
mom know but if she knows then my younger
sister will know and they will use things
that make me vulnerable against me and so
I don't tell them things. I just feel
trapped so if there is any thing I can do
can you please let me know!!! Thank you so
much!!!

Only a doctor/psychiatrist can diagnose
you with bipolar disorder or not. But you
can research the topic, arm yourself with
knowledge, and be ready for your
appointment.
Being bipolar means you have two extremes.
The up (manic) and the down (depressed)
extreme. You sound like you have the
down, due to your emotional crying. Your
up needs more information, such as a
doctor would ask you. Trust me, you don't
WANT to have bipolar, it is much easier to
have depression or OCD though both have
their bad side also.
Read some more articles on the topic, and
slowly convince your mom to seek some sort
of medical help. The next time you see
your doctor you can tell them also, he can
help you with this process.
Let me ask, when you are sad do you ever
think about hurting yourself?
If that is a yes, then you can also seek
help at school. When you are having a bad
down day go seek out your school
counselor, they will help you and that can
help you get your mom to believe you.
