Do I have Bi-Polar?

Question:

I am a person who seems to get mad very easy. I could be with my friends and they might start joking around and I might take everything too serious. I know I've spased out a couple of times at a couple of my friends and they told me to calm down. I get mad for a long time then I feel better. I know everyday I have a period where I suddenly get all hyper and happy then I get depressed for no reason. I have told some people that I don't know what the point of life is, and I was seriously, and they thought I'm suicidal. I like being lonely and I just am not an extremely sociable person. I feel like I want to be alone for the rest of my life. I like getting mad at myself and going hard on myself and I don't like helping myself. I have a good family and good friends. I feel like I just am not wanted on thios eath. I don't know if it's Bi-Polar that I have.

Doesn't sound to me like manic episodes. But you need help.

You could very well be bi-polar and the good news is that it is both easy to diagnose and can, often, be treated with medications.

See a doctor and tell him everything you just told us here.

I'm not sure about the bipolar diagnosis, but I am sure that you need to be evaluated by a psychiatrist. There are medications and therapies that could help you.

Could be borderline or could be a behavioural problem..Perhaps in these places you spas out you do not feel in control..Maybe its a comination of OCD And clinical depression or SADS.

You should ask a medical professional, as most of us are not doctors and cannot diagnose you.

Probably anxiety disorder/ADD. Does your mind race? Do you think of a dozen things at once? Does it feel like a tornado is in your head, especially when you are trying to go to sleep. I would try a low dose antidepressant or Strattera (work somewhat alike). Strattera is a non-amphetamine for ADD and should calm you down. It will take at least 2 weeks for your body to get used to medicine and get over side effects.
If you go to a psychiatrist and give him your symptoms, you will be diagnosed as bipolar. They are way too quick to give out that diagnosis.

Could be .could also be you feeling like that's your comfort zone.. is to act that way b/c that's all you know and your not gonna change .but think positively, and know it's nothing wrong with spendin' time by yourself .. if need be maybe you just need a change of scenery .are you able to go on a vacation? and really relax and not think about your problems but rather think about the fact that you have good health and family& friends that care .and when you come back introduce them all to a more happier, grateful you and don't dwell on the past .what's done is done. and it's time for you to try new things..

well it seems like you are Bi-polar. I am too, another way to find is to see if drugs like prozac , paxel and things like that don't work ? Thats how some doctors find out that you have this disorder.

I'm sure it has something to do with the Ozone. No one was asking these questions 20 yrs. ago! A.D.D this, BI-POLAR that, give me a break! It is human to get mad or sad or excited! They just want to make $$ so they convince everyone that they need to take medicine for being mad or sad or excited! Be happy you have emotions to express! Enjoy being a human!

It doesn't sound like Bipolar Disorder to me. you didn't mention how old you are, but it's possible that you're simply experiencing what a lot of teenagers go through. Keep in mind that if you're a teenager, hormones are going crazy in your body.. they cause all sorts of emotional side-effects. I think it's worthy to explore something called "Intermittent Explosive Disorder" as well, which is about having difficult controlling anger. It's a neurological condition that can be treated with medication.

anything is possible, i don't think you are bi polar-their was no manic tendencies in you letter-perhaps anger management or depression-i am a bi-polar level ll w/schizophrenic tendencies-I'm very stable w/meds & regular visit to doctor-please see a psychiatrst right away-it might take a while to figure out whats going on but if you work w/the doc it makes it easier and educate yourself-its your resp. to help yourself as well-good luck

You need Jesus my friend. He will fix everything.
