Am i Bipolar?

Question:

I have never really been depressed before but one day i am fine and the next day i cry my eyes out all day but it only happens like once a month or every other month. I have absolutely nothing to be depressed about. I am not getting ready to start my period.

Answers:
You can have hormone fluctuations other times of the month besides when you are PMSing. Some women get those symptoms when they ovulate.

You are not bipolar from what you are describing. The best thing you can do for yourself is drink lots of water (always), take your vitamins and eat good whole foods rather than packaged prepared processed foods. Exercise helps the mood swings too. If it gets really unbearable, go to your local health food or vitamin store and there are a ton of herbal treatments for your symptoms.

u mite as well be bipolar

you are NOT bipolar!! Just have shifting emotions. i am bipolar and what you have doesn't sound like it, sometimes you just need to let out feelings you have held in, even if you held them in subconsciously, now if these were constant mood swings and you got them like 2 or 3 times in an hour, then maybe you would want to go see someone, but you sound just fine to me! - rachel

That sounds like depression
People with bipolar are usually manic at times
real happy, then real sad
They'll get inspirations when they're manic and do something like call people at 3 a.m. or max out their credit card
Then they become depressed and down

my wife is bipolar, the best way to tell is wether on your good days you are "manic" (ie. cant sleep, cant sit still, talk a mile a minute.) No. Use this site to understand the symptoms of bipolar disorder.

You don't state your age, but that can be a contributing factor and how things are going in your life, if this seems like something that is affecting your life and day to day activities you really need to see a doctor, you can go see your regular doctor and he can refer you to someone tha makes diagnosis of these types of problems, but do not assume that bipolar disorder is an automatic thing, there are hundreds of other reasons for these types of symptoms, including, hormone implance, nutrition, and things you might never consider. I don't think you are bipolar if this is all thats is happening. Bipolar is more than just negative mood swings. If this is a legit problem that can be diagnosed, it is probably just depression. Sometimes all you need is a good friend to talk to, but counseling and meds can help too if that is what you need.
