I think I have bipolar or split personality disorder?!


Question: I think I have bipolar or split personality disorder?
Like I get in these moods and I don't speak and I'm just depressed. But then the next day I'll be all happy outgoing fun and joyful. It changes allll the time and Its so weird my friends even notice. I can't explain why it changes and if I'm out with my boyfriend or somethin I'll be all cheerful then just turn into another gear and be someone else like the sad me.. Or I get in there thinking reflective moods and idk! I have so many different personalities and no one said they can describe me because I always change!

You sound like a typical teenage girl to me. Are you a teenager? If you are, it's probably nothing to worry about. Your body is going through a lot of changes, even more cos you're a girl who's hormones are all over the place. But, if in doubt, see your doctor. Have a real honest talk with them to put your mind at ease.



An actual split personality disorder is pretty rare in all honestly and it's a very distinct change in personality, it's not just quick mood swings. You are quite literally two (or more) different people sharing the same body, and in most cases of split personality disorder the person acts this way and is pretty unaware of it. They may even go as far as to go by different names.

As for bipolar disorder, that may be more likely because there's not just one type of it, there's 3. Some are more severe than others and you may just have a mild case of it.

Something to keep in mind though is there are more mood disorders that are even more mild than bipolarity and those are probably the more likely ones you're seeing..cyclothymic disorder for example.

but hey, i've never even met you so you might just be either ! =P luckily there's tests for bipolarity and mood disorders, if you're really concerned you can see a psychiatrist (:



That is actually perfectly normal for some teens. Bipolar moods do not change that fast... they last for wweeks or months and on average only cycle 2 or 3 times a year. Split personality is not a disorder... some people use it to describe Schizophrenia which you do not have and others use it to describe multiple personalities which you also do not have... You are a normal hormonal teenager.... it will settle down as you get closer to 20...



Definitely not Bipolar and not Split personality. Depression and mania are two different things from the feelings you have described.

You are just a very diverse person.
