I Think I'm Bi-Polar, Am I?!
Question: I Think I'm Bi-Polar, Am I!?
I'm 14 to start out with!. I've been having fits of rage for the past year about!. Like, everytime i'm pissed off a "killswitch" goes off and i want to do violent things like hit/kill ppl!. I've also had many many thoughts of suicide when things go wrong!. Depressed is also probably the best word to sum up my past year so i think i may be bi-polar!. Also, i dislike my parents and don't like talking to them so if you say "go get help from a professional" i don't think i would!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hi there!. there's a degree that every1 who is 14 is bipolar!. i mean you've only started to realize that your parents aren't perfect, life isn't fair, lots of stuff really sucks, you've got armpit hairs and hormones that are coursing around enough for someone 8 inches taller than you------which you *are* totally becoming 8 inches taller, probably, and it can also actually hurt to grow fast!. only several years ago did you learn about sex---and thought it was gross!. only a few years ago did you probably hear about a really grotesque murder that prolly made u want to throw up!.!.!.!.!.!.and yet ur mind couldn't stop processing it over and over and over!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.nevermind the daily pressures you're feeling from family, friends, teachers, etc!. Talk about stress!!!!
what i would do is find a teacher in your school that you can trust--someone who is cool; i mean, not necessarily popular, but cool like they won't freak out if you say something to them about your thoughts!. test the waters with a teacher or other adult, say something to them and see how they respond to you!. wait a few days and see how they act----if they're avoiding you, preaching at you, or actually asking a question or two to show some interest in you as a person!.
when you find that person, ask them if you can just get some thoughts out, get some advice or just some listening from them!. and make sure what's the best way to communicate with them--email, phone, office time after school, etc!.
one of my favorite students ever was a kid who was going thru the same type feelings u r, and he made sure he was early every morning and just hung out in my classroom!. he put out a few feelers over a few weeks, to see if he could trust me, and then basically started using that early time to bring stuff up!. nothing like seeing a psychologist or labeling him bipolar, just basically telling me (or asking) a few important details, questions, thoughts every day or two!. and in between, talking about music or sports or whatever!. it feels better to be able to let off steam like that!.
i don't know you and i'm not saying you shouldn't see a counselor, i'm just saying that since you don't want to, if you were forced, you wouldn't open up to them anyway! so seek out someone who is familiar with YOUR AGE GROUP (amazing how some adults totally forget how they felt when they were 14!), and see where it leads!. don't get a crush on them!. and don't be needy or greedy with their time, just use a few minutes here and there when you can!. that's what my student did with me and it totally worked out awesome for him!.
oh, ONE MORE THING-----don't play kill games on your video games!. knock off with the grand theft auto and some of those other senseless violence games, and trade them in at gamestop (lol) for military games or other mission-type games!. you've already got plenty of rage inside (which is fine) but don't feed it!. life has a violent side and there's nothing wrong with it, to a degree, just so long as it's not senseless!. just try to think of ways to use some of those violent super powers (lol) for something that's decently positive!. military, sports, running, weight training, writing short stories about action stuff, etc!.
best of wishes for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think bipolar disorder is your problem!. I think many people think it's just mood swings, and it's not really only that!.
Being mad when you're mad is normal! Sure, your reactions are a bit fierce, but that could just be hormones!.!.!.
And being depressed is another teenager thing!. I feel the same a lot of the time as well!. Very violent at times, then very quiet, and usually pretty depressed!. You just learn to see the problems coming and try to deal with it in the best way possible, whether that's going to the bathroom during school and just takin' a breather so that you don't kill anyone, or having yourself a good, long cry every once and a while!.
Don't worry, I don't think there's anything wrong with you!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

you could be bi-polar, but you also might not be!. honestly, the best thing for you to do is see a professional!. Trust me, I don't get along well with my parents and hate talking to them!. you don't have to tell them anything!. just get their help to get a professional and then by law the professional may not tell them anything without your written consent!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I agree with Gabe if you don't want professional help what are you hoping for!?!? There are guidance counselors at school that you can start with, instead of telling your parents right off!.
Once you get to the point of wanting to kill people or yourself you obviously have a problem but I do think you fully are aware of this, but are afraid to deal with the issue!. The fact that you did come on line and ask for quidance that is a place to start-now keep moving forward!. God Bless ReggieWww@Answer-Health@Com
