Question: Please read!!! is it possible i have bipolar?
so for the past few years iv felt like there is something off in my personality just didn't know what but for a long time i just though i had an anxiety disorder but i think i could be more then that.

im 20 female and for the past two years iv gone through these strange mood swings for about a month or more i will feel ex steam anxiety and depressed i wont want to go out at all even to the shops i will have to write lists of things i need i just refuse to go out i just site in my room depressed i wont want to talk on the phone or to anyone i i will just hate life feeling hopeless. i also get very angry in this faces and violent can be very nasty and mean hit things and get irritated very easy its like you need to walk on egg shells around me,
then suddenly i just snap out of it and feel enthuiastic about going out after spending about 4 to 6 weeks in my room most the time in the dark with just the tv on, i will do thinks like enrolling in course and want to study iv so far enrolled in a diplomatherapyy and cert 3 in medical admin but never get to get to finishing them beacuse half way through i just go back to my depressed anxiouse state once again for no reason. i also do things like sign up to phone plans and get new phones on contacts i cant afford, excessive shopping i have very little responsibility for money in these fase im very out there out spoken i get in to alot of fights i dont go out looking for them but i overreact to everything i can not control my temper, i just think im so strong when im actually a very small girl its just like i feel invincible, and just normal day to day i will feel really talkative talk so fast will just call people flat out feel like iv had a heap of energy drinks.

It does sound you are experiencing cycles of mania and depression characteristic of bipolar disorder. You should see a psychiatrist to be evaluated.



Honestly, your best bet would be in consulting a doctor/counselor, not yahoo answers.



Two things... one, this thing is way toooo long to read. which leads to the second thing... yes you are bipolar



Mood disorders are not all cut and dry. You need to see a professional, let them know what has been going on, and let them figure it out. You may have one of a plethora of mood disorders that exist. If it is interfering with your life, go get checked out.
There are plenty of medications out there to help even out your moods, and despite the cynics beliefs, they don't make you a zombie if you take them because you need them.



Sounds more like Impulsive borderline personality disorder. I would read up on it. My sister has Petulant borderline disorder, and other members of my family have links to psychological problems. I've read a lot about it and it seems to match you description.

Check the section of subtypes for the impulsive and click the two links in the definition.

I don't have any specific resource in immediate premises but the wiki is pretty accurate on this subject (surprisingly.)

Best of luck
