Answers:
You don't say how old you are, but it's normal for young girls to be emotional at times!. Maybe you could get your mom to take you to your family doctor so you can talk to him/her specifically about why you think you're bipolar!.

I'd suggest talking to your mom about why she thinks you're not bipolar and you think you are!. Emotions can be very strong, and sometimes it's just a matter of accepting your feelings and to stop trying not to be sad or whatever!. Is there a reason you don't want to "go to a psychiatrist"!? Taking a pill won't solve all your problems!. If you want to give more detail about why you think you're bipolar, I can try to give you more information!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

The only person who can diagnose bipolar is a psychiatrist your doctor can not make this diagnoses!. he can say he thinks it might be that but he cant officially diagnose or treat a severe psychiatric condition such as bipolar!.
To be diagnosed as bipolar, usually take years of mood swings unfortunately!. It takes on average someone with bipolar 10 years from first onset of symptoms to being diagnosed!.
You should also keep a mood diary!. A psych will ask you to keep one anyway, but at least you can go see one with a mood diary already in place!.
The medication used to treat bipolar can make you ill, and is not to be given to people unless they are really sick!.
Have you read up on the internet the symptoms of bipolar!? You could make a list of the manic ones, and tick next to ones you have!. You could also post this list on here and ask the question again with the list and next to it what happens or what you do that complies with that criteria, and do it for each criteria point!. Then we on here would have a better idea what you are going through!.

Good luck hon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A regular doctor doesn't have the skill and training to treat serious mental illnesses!. You have to see a psychiatrist to be properly diagnosed as bipolar, and they can prescribe medication!. Psychiatrists are experts on mental illnesses including bipolar disorder - regular doctors aren't!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you have a degree in psychiatry!? what makes you qualified to diagnose yourself!? of course your mom isn't going to believe you!. silly girl!. most teenagers would qualify as bipolar, mostly due to the hormonal swings they go thru as a part of being a teen!.!.!. no doctor is going to treat you until you are over all that nonsense anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

my parents didn't believe me either!.
when i said i thought i was bi-polar, and for them i think it was they had a problem admitting something could be wrong with me!.
but if you are completely 100% sincere!.!.!.!.your parents should take you to the doctor, and get it checked out!.!.!.!.better save than sorry!.

but it tuns out im not, i was just a crazy teenager !.!.!. and still am, it was a lot of stress, and just normal growing up stuff!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your probably just over reacting, i used to think i had alot of things!.!.!.but if you REALLY want help for it just go to the doctor with your mom for a check up and ask your doctor about it or somethingWww@Answer-Health@Com

see a psych,, my wife is bipolar and it's nothing to mess around with, the sooner you get help the better you will feel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
