Answers:
Per the DSM-IV-TR, criteria for Bipolar Disorder is having extreme highs and extreme lows!. If you haven't had any extreme highs but have had extreme lows, it's more likely that you have Major Depression!. Major Depression can be a little like Bipolar Disorder if it is recurrent, like you mentioned!. Going back and forth between depressed and baseline!.
I just gave a generalization!. There are a lot of little things that can indicate Bipolar Disorder!. Only your doctors will be able to diagnose you!.
Life does get better! I have had depression before but am now out of it!. Remember all the times you felt better than you do now!. You'll be doing well soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it seems to me that you are dangerously deep into depression!. I suggest that you see a psychiatrist to help you with these problems!. Is there any problems that are going into your life right now or is there any particular thing that is bothering you which encourages you to feel this way!?!? Why don't you try getting active like going to the park a play an activity with friends or go swimming or get 30 minutes of exercise in a few times a week!. Just do something to keep your mind of depression!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm sorry you feel so low, but I think this is the LAST place you should be seeking a diagnosis!. We are not qualified to provide medical advice!.
You urgently need to see your GP and ask for his or her professional medical opinion!.

If you had bipolar YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT
it is FAR more than just feeling a bit sad one day and then feeling a bit happier the next
that said, a lot of people with the same symptoms as you buy bipolar diagnoses from expensive doctors nowadays, so if that's what you want to do, go for itWww@Answer-Health@Com

it doesn't sound like you have bipolar!.
what is a CPN!?
find a therapist or some REALLY good friends
find a hobby or some other activity to distract yourself when you get low!.
bubble baths usually help me
so does journalingWww@Answer-Health@Com

You need to see a therapist before you wind up killing yourself!. They can help you with your pain!. Stop crying and it will help think!. More happy things!. You dont need to go through this alone tell someone about this anger and pain!. You are both~ mainly deppressedWww@Answer-Health@Com
Bipolar requires hypomania (subthreshhold mania) at minimum!. It is a lot more than happy!. No, you are not describing anything close to bipolar disorder!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Depression!. Definitely!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I had a severe depressionWww@Answer-Health@Com
Exercise helps,I was issued with a mountain bike to get me out of the house,even though it's raining heavily here I'd put a coat on and a pair of wellies and go and splash in a few puddles if I was feeling down!.Everyone feels a bit down at times but when it gets serious and stops you from having a life it's time to seek help!.Giving the problem a name does help but everyone's case is different and special to them!.Keep on asking questions and talking to people like this if it helps!.The lows help us to appreciate the highs even more,Life on chemicals is like a straight jacket that buries your head in marshmallow!.It's not what happens to you its how you respond to it!.When you finally get to the Pearly Gates,and hope it's a long time yet, the question you are asked is "Did you enjoy the Gymnasium!?"Www@Answer-Health@Com
I've had depression before so I know what it's like!. I've become involved in the dailystrength website!. It's forum based but even if you don't take part in those, you should find some good supporting friends there!. I find two-way online conversation useful in helping me get my thoughts straight!. I advise you to use a name unique to that website though - don't use a Yahoo one!. Below are a couple of other websites you may find helpful!. Take care - I hope you're better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
