Do I have Bipolar disorder?

Ok just to say bipolar is where you either are really happy or really mad! Never in between. Like riding a roller coaster of emotions. Being mad is ok sometimes just try to prevent it to think about the situation. Or just get your mind on something else.

My mum has bipolar too =/ It’s easy to mistake it for hormones.. especially if you are in your teens. I’m often like that =] If you are still worried about it.. if you don’t find it too hard then talk to your parents about it.

Funmail me if you need any more advice =]

well you could be my mom has mad bi polar and 1min she will be mean then like forget she was mad and be happy check with a doctor with that you might be. or maybe your just like that cause of hormones.

NO you don’t have bipolar, I have bipolar so know the symptoms and what its like to have mood swings, and they aren’t normal mood swings that people perceive mood swings to be, bipolar is much more complicated. Looking at your age I think you are just a teenage girl with raging hormones arguing with her parents, like many teenage girls do. Please don’t try to diagnose yourself. Bipolar is a life long mental health condtion and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. If you think this is more than just you going through your teenage years then go see your doctor.

Being exremely mad could be from a serious other problem or trauma you have suffered and never resolved. It doesn’t have to mean you are bi-polar. I used to be angry at the world. It was because my dad never let me do anything alone as I grew up and I looked like the nerd to everyone else. That made me extremely angry. Other things my mom should’ve kept quiet about also kept me from loving her. Or it could be you are going to bed extremely late and never catch up on much needed sleep. Sleep deprivation is a big mood changer.

Hope this helps, Mama K

It doesn’t sound like it, but if you are very concerned, consult a doctor.

isn’t bipolar more of when you have big mood swings, not just being really mad?

um, no, you dont. I hate it when people say they do. I was doagnosed at 13, and its a livin hel. if you had it, you wudnt have to ask, ud know.
