Just from what you have said here I would say NO not depression and not bipolar - its just your upset about losing your dog ... your body is reacting to the loss and your sad thats all .. it should pass .. if in 2 weeks your still feeling depressed see a Dr .. if you feel you cant wait that long then see a Dr sooner .... if there is past history of the way you feel that you havent put here in your description then I would see someone now but I can only go off what you have said here

tell your parents and see a psychiatrist if you think your bipolar thats the only way to know for sure and you will get the appropriate help.
Also if your depressed try finding some one to talk to( a teacher, counsellor, parent, friend etc).. I know how you feel, I feel like that all the time but it always helps to have someone otherwise you begin to feel like your all alone and you never are

Hello :)
I have bipolar and didnt even know I did until I was around 35. I had a terrible rollercoaster confusing life with alot of tears and time on the sofa before the diagnosis. I thought I was lazy and that having my 4 children was a mistake as I mustnt have been ready. I mentioned symptoms to my doctor who suspected I had bipolar and put me on medication. I was also referred to a psycologist for counselling who did a propper diagnosis. Hooray!!! I have now been on medication for 4 years and have never felt so normal my whole life :) I wish I had known this earlier. It may have saved my marriage and my kids would not have seen me locked in my room not to be disturbed. Please mention it to your parents and ask for them to get you tested. It wont hurt if the doctor says its just sadness due to your dog. And down the track if you need a second opinion please get one. Take care. Sorry to hear about your dog, terrible thing to happen. Take care.
