I read some of the symptoms. I have terrible mood swings that occur for basically no reason. When I'm happy, I'm very hyper && I often talk a lot and fast that people can barely keep up with me (Alot of my friends have noticed it), when I'm sad I'm depressed I don't wanna speak to people, I don't wanna see people, I just wanna stay alone and cry and I never know why, I also get alittle paranoid. Sometimes I get these feelings like no one wants me around, like everyone hates me, I feel guilty. I get distracted very easily and my grades have been going down because I can't concentrate anymore. I don't get enough sleep as I use to and wake up often through out the night, other times I can sleep through the whole night but wake up even more fatigued than I was before I went to bed. I only had two experiances with thinking about suicide. Do I’ve bipolar disorder?
Answer:
Possibly. You have several symptoms.
See a doctor. What have you got to lose?
Answer:
I was like that a lot and was looked at for bipolar. But I haven't got a diagnosis yet because it takes years to diagnose and I improved. Try asking to speak to a professional to see if there's anything you can do to help even out what you're going through without medication first. Sometimes just a good diet, regular exercise and a controlled social setting, like volunteering can help bring out the best in you and even out your problems. The lack of concentration is probably from being in the depressive stage.
