I'm exactly the same, I'm going to mark this question so that I have an answer if there is!
I asked this question a while back and all anyone told me was to go to a doctor.
EDIT:
See? My point exactly. That's all anyone is going to tell you on here even if you don't ask for it. Like you don't already know that is an option?! I wasn't placing blame on anyone for me "not knowing". I know myself much better than any doctor does.
See a doctor.
Online tests aren't trustworthy.
For what it's worth, the kind of bipolar that switches in a minute is very, VERY rare. And the manias of bipolar disorder are not merely 'happy'.
Life is beautiful - people told you to see a doctor for a reason. It really is the only way to find out if you have any illness. If you didn't go, it's your own fault that you don't know if you have bipolar.
The best way to find out is to go to a psychologist. They evaluate you by asking you questions and examining your responses to those questions. Sometimes they give you a little questionnaire and evaluate it that way. Most likely, if you are, they will prescribe a medication such as Wellbutrin or Zoloft. It will help your horomonal levels balance out so you don't have such eratic mood swings.
Definetely a doctor. Or if you have continuous moodswings.
The best way is to talk to a physician or psychiatrist. There are some tests online and below is a link to a page with some information on bipolar.

Sometimes stress or other things can cause temporary mood swings, so it may or may not be bipolar. Bipolar moods are usually stronger than usualy mood swings. If you do however feel it may be bipolar I urge you to talk to a dr. Medications are available that will give you your life back. It sometimes takes a time or two to find the best medication/dosage for you but well worth it! Good luck to you,
You're not bipolar - it sounds like you are a female
Consult a psychologist. For the record, bi-polar doesn't present in that fashion. It is the "new" name for manic-depressive, you will have up times that can last a day to weeks even months and then have some major depression periods. Please go get some help for what ever type of mental illness you may be facing. A family member shot themself in the chest 2 weeks ago-she had been hiding her bi-polar disorder from the family for a year. Maybe if she hadn't done so the doc could have better adjusted her meds and she wouldn't have killed herself. Good luck.
You will have to go to a doctor to have him refer you to someone.
Most will tell you are bipolar if you are convinced you are.
Some others may tell you to take a deep breath and if you exhale after a while, they will tell you that you are alive and mood swings are normal. You would then have to learn to enjoy the fact you have them and also learn how to control them.
Suggest easy route and convince yourself it is bipolar and have someone else drug you to minimize life and its wonderment.
the best way to figure out if you have bipolar disorder is to first seek the help of a trained professional. If that is not possible than seek the help of someone close to you to help with researching on the internet and library all the major information available on bipolar disorder. It is not an ideal situation to self diagnose but if its necessary than make sure you do your research with someone who can be objective. if you really do have bipolar disorder than it may be difficult to self diagnose. that being said, here is some info on bipolar disorders
