Your signs and symptoms sound like mine did before treatment!. I slept most of the day and night then I would have days on end where I just stayed up and cleaned and read etc!. I was MISdiagnosed at first as being depressed but with enough talking, my therapist realized it was bi-polar!. Don't back down from it cuz you think Mom is gonna think anything!. The longer you remain untreated the harder it will be to initially treat!. If there is a mental health organization in your community you can call them yourself!. They still ahve to get parent permission to treat you but maybe your Mom needs to know that this is serious enough to you that you sought treatment yourself!. Bi-polatr IS hereditary and is typically diagnosed between 14-21!. It show great maturity that you are willing to acknowlege it now!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
I am a psychology student but believe bipolar is a term that is used too frequently, same with depression!. You may have a little of both but its hard to tell unless a psychologist actually sees you!. Try getting outdoors and exercising, sometimes that is the best medicine instead of taking pills prescribed to you!. Keep active like that until you can see one it may help more than you would think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You are experiencing some problems, and may be even some genetic ones, but its not impossible to deal with them all!. Life is tough sometimes you know, especially if your close relatives are bi-polar;) sorry, i know this is not really funny!. BUT if you wanna heal, you need to go away, relax and stop torturing yourself with the negative thoughts/emotions!. On the deeper level you might ask yourself basic questions about your happinness and enjoyment of life, but overall, save yourself from overt worrying and fear pls!. And take good care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I made the same mistake as your mom by putting off getting help for my daughter!. Just remind her again until she calls someone!. You might just need to talk to someone a few times!.

No one here can say whether you are bipolar, but I like others can say your symptoms are similar to my own!.
Pick the right time and talk to your mom!. At 15, that is your only real recourse!. When you are 16, you can make an appt with your doctor w/o your parents!. They won't know until the bill comes!. However, talking directly to your mom at a time when your are in a balanced mood (depressed whiney doesn't always come off the best) and when she is receptive is probably the best solution!. If she doesn't know you cut, fess up!. If she doesn't know about your sleeping struggles, tell!. Your fear about her response may be unfounded!. She already said she'd get you tested!. She knows the signs!. She just might need to get past some denial!. No parent wants this illness for their child!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could be suffering from bi-polar or some mental health problems, but no ones in a position to be able to advise you on that over Y!A!. It really is important that you get to see a dr asap to begin to get things sorted!.
Perhaps your mom doesnt realise how serious the situation is!. If you explain clearly that you can no longer carry on with the way things are Im sure she wouldnt be angry at you for bringing the subject up!. Especially as she has agreed in the past to take you to be checked out!. If you feel comfortable with doing so, print out what you've wrote here and show your mom so she understands fully how important it is!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
