Bipolar?

[Sudds3]

Ive been taking those online bipolar test things all night because for the past month i have been feeling emotional highs and lows and ive been afraid i have bipolar disorder and its really scaring me! Ive been cutting myself lately and i am sometimes happy and other times sad and i just have no idea. I dont want to be bipolar because itll make me more of a freak and i dont want that! People will look at me differently if they find out and everything will just spiral downhill faster than they are right now...im not sure if this goes here or the VT hospital category so please movie if necessary, thanks.

There's a difference between being depressed and being bipolar. I am a lot like you. My mood changes on a dime. However, this is not bipolar disorder. It's just..depression. I really doubt you're bipolar, just going through something.

You should go talk to a professional asking what you really have. As far as the online tests of being bipolar, I wouldn't take those anymore, because they are scaring you more than you really should be! Plus nothing online is official set and stone correct info as if you were to go to a profession who study all this and will tell you exactly what you have. But I'm pretty sure you aren't really bipolar as more of every teen go through their mood changing phases.

Thanks, that helps a lot knowing someone is in the same position as me. And yeah i know they say that it isnt a diagnoses but a strong recommendation to see a doctor yet i passed so many and it scared me but im a little calmer now. Thanks
