Bi-Polar?!?!? If you are Bi-polar will you see if I could possibly be?!?!?!
Question: I am always irritated with my family! I get really lonely and bored but when people try to come and spend time with me I just get irritated and upset, and end up snapping at them and then they get their feelings hurt and/or defensive and leave or get into an argument with me(which I understand...If I was in their situation, I would do the same) I get completely out of control sometimes and completely irrational and when I am in a irritated irrational mood I believe I am in the right and everyone is out to get me and my family is ganging up on me and I feel like all I am doing is defending myself....which I am not....and they try to even warn me when they sense it coming on but it is usually too late and I either do the whole crazy laugh and/or I get more irritated ad upset and that tips me over the edge....Looking back I can always see how things might not have gotten so out of control if other people had done things a little differently, but I also see how things might have been....

Okay, I can't tell you for certain if you're Bipolar or not, but I feel that some of the answers given so far are a bit too simplistic in their descriptions of the disorder, so here's a bit more to think about...
Yes, the most basic form of Bipolar Disorder is to go through cylces of extreme "highs" and "lows" - mania and depression. But the severity of the disorder, and even of each aspect of it, can vary dramatically from person to person and from one episode to another.
What you've described sounds like it could be Bipolar Disorder, or maybe something similar, but here's another thing to consider...not all people "feel like a god" when they're manic, first of all. Many people don't experience manias that are quite that extreme, and many people experience manias that include extreme feelings of irritability, anxiety, restlessness, and almost all mania tends to include impulsiveness, poor judgement at times, and an unwillingness to listen to loved ones when they express displeasure or concern over your behavior.
Also, there's something called a "mixed state", which is basically when a person experiences both symptoms of mania AND depression at the same time, often including moodiness, aggressiveness and/or defensiveness, and many of the more irritation and agitation-related symptoms I listed above.
Either way, Bipolar Disorder isn't the only possibility, and only a trained professional will be able to determine which - if any - of the possibilities apply to you.
You seem to have symptoms that require attention of some sort. If you believe you actually have a mental disorder you need to go to a Dr to have it properly diagnosed and treated.
i have had bi-polar disorder. Its really frustrating. I know you probaly dont want to put to help stop it, talk to a phsycoligist
Well someone in my family had this. It may not necessarily be bi-polar though it sounds something like it. maybe just stress. When you are doing this, is it when you have had a stressful day? Stress can put people over the edge and just snap the way you described. I would see a doctor to help. If you think maybe stress, try running for 30 minutes or so and see if it helps. Otherwise see your family doctor and he will be able to help more.
You are not bi-polar. You do however, have some serious anger and paranoia issues. I suspect that you have some deep control issues also.
I don't know your age but being bi-polar is like feeling like a god for awhile and then feeling completely worthless with an incredible sense of loss as if your mother had just died. Over time the pattern repeats itself. It doesn't just show up as you have described it.
I am bi-polar myself. I truly know the difference.
