Answers:
I love the part "my parents don't believe in mental illnesses"!.!.!. they should see people in the state hospitals then!.

In answer to your question I think you need to learn to control your thoughts, emotions and feelings!. If you are 14, you are considered on your way to adulthood!.

Also, teens have hormonal changes, you might be suffering from too much or too little and that may affect you!.

Talk to the counselor at school and start to learn to work out your issues!. As far as being Bipolar, a professional would have to determine that!. If you function pretty well, are not suicidal and don't hurt yourself or others, just chill and begin to be mature about thoughts, emotions and feelings!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are not bipolar because bipolar disease is characterized by long periods of weeks or months of mania (sometimes near psychotic) followed by long periods of depression!.

Sound like you are a normal 14 year old girl looking for attention!. I was the same way!. I wanted to have a mental illness to explain my thoughts!. Really, it is completely normal!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's normal until you do poorly with school work - then it's time to get more creative out away from yourself or it goes too much in and physically active or after a few months that doesn't change anything, go see a doctor on your ownWww@Answer-Health@Com

Ah you answered your question in the first sentence!. Are you bipolar!? No, you're fourteen!. It's hormones, get used to it!. It will clear in a couple years!. Got it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

No you aren't bipolar but you probably should go talk to your doctor or see a therapist!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's called being a teenager honey! It will get better you are just finding yourself!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Bipolar is also sometimes known as manic depression!. It's like a roller coaster ride!. During a manic state, you may feel invinsible!. You can't sit still!. You can't slow down!. You are on top of the world, and it's the greatest feeling ever!. On the other end of the spectrum is the depressive state where even just the thought of having to get out of bed in the morning is more than you can deal with!. Everything sucks, basically!.
What you are describing may be another kind of depression!. If you're feelings continue for more than 2 weeks at a time, you need to get some help!. If you're parents won't help you then find someone who will!. Talk to your teachers or arrange a meeting with the guidance counselor at your school!.
A less than honest approach would be to tell your parents that you're not feeling well and try to convince them to take you to see a doctor!. When you get there, ask the doctor if you can talk to him/her alone and then tell them everything you are feeling!. The doctor may at least be able to explain to your parents why it's important that they not ignore you!.
Please talk to someone who can help!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're not bipolar!. Bipolar moods last much longer than the time frame you're talking about!.

The reason you've "changed" is because you're 14!. Puberty makes everyone moody and miserable, and believe it or not, it makes everyone feel like they have the problems of an adult!.

If you were depressed, the feeling would last longer!. If you were manic, you wouldn't be able to function!. Or at the very least, everyone would notice that you were noticeably disconnected from reality!.

What you have is called Being A Teenager!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go online and do a search for "depression test" or "bi-polar" test and take it!. Answer honestly, print out the results and give them to your parents!. It can also help to give the results to a doctor or counselor!. Your parents might not believe in mental illness and I am not really sure if I do (but I still take meds for it go figure)!. The point is that something in your life is not right whether it is truly a chemical imbalance, somebody important is doing something you don't agree with, or it's all in your head!. Try to make your parents realize that even if it is not a "mental illness" that there is something wrong that needs to be taken care of!. I hope they listen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think you should defiantly see your doctor or a counselor!. I'm not in a position to say whether you do or don't have a mental illness, but you clearly have some issues and a counselor could really help!. If your open minded about it that is!. If it is a mental illnesses your suffering from most can't be diagnosed until the person is at least 16, often 18, and unless your severely depressed you won't be prescribed anything!.
