How can you tell if you are bipolar?!


Question: just mood swings right


Answers: just mood swings right

The mood swings in bipolar are not usually one thing one minute, and the opposite in the next. The mood changes occur over months, typically. I don't know why people keep saying that the mood is minute to minute.

Bipolar is very extreme. If you are able to do most of your schoolwork or go to work every day, it probably isn't bipolar. Bipolar is so bad you want to die, you want to die so bad you can hardly stop yourself from stabbing yourself right there where you sit. You sleep 14 hours a night. Then a few months later, you go all day and all night, sleeping only 4 hours a night or less, partying to beat the band, spending loads of money on stuff you don't want (I mean like 14 blouses or jeans because they are a new style, or blowing your college fund on gold jewelry and you don't like jewelry much) and getting all kinds of ambitious projects underway that you will make millions on (you think). You will feel at one with the universe. Then you get depressed and all your ideas fall to ruin, and you want to die again.

OK so bipolar is really severe like that.

You have to see a doc to get diagnosed, if you are having trouble getting your work done. Especially do this if you have thoughts of suicide. You could also have a milder form called cyclothymia, or you could be a teenager (I don't know how old you are).

Good luck i hope you get help if you need it.

If you think you may be bipolar, consult your doctor for help.

I'm not totally sure, but people that are bipolar do not realize it until they get diagnosed. One minute they can be really happy, two seconds later they are crying talking about someone dying. It's not just mood swings, they are very drastic mood swings. The suffering person is usually depressed too. The "mood swings" are called episodes of mania. There are also different types of bipolar disorders. Without treatment, the symptoms become very bad and a lot lead to suicide.

Humans are the ONLY species on earth that think they must be happy at all times. I doubt you are bipolar. Do you have severe mood swings? Do you go from being horribly depressed and agitated to being happy and full of energy within minutes? If so seek a professional. More than likely you are just human, normal. If you are a teenager the hormones will play these tricks with you. Bipolar is a serious psychological disease that is not just someone being happy and then pissed off. It would likely have been noticed by now.

There are states of being manic- paranoid, chattery, high-energy, happy- and then you can swing into a state of depression, usually extreme.

Some people who are bipolar go into phases where they hear voices talking to them, and it can be a frightening thing to deal with from day to day.
Bipolar disorder is a serious problem, and if you think you have it, look around for symptoms online.
See if they fit you.
If they do fit you more often than not, go to a doctor.

Mood swings can be due to hormones as well, which usually come from your body developing in your teen years.
(thank god i'm almost out) :)

Bipolar is so much more than just mood swings.

Mood swings are one of many symptoms of bipolar disorder. Go to the doctor and they will check you out.
