I think i might be bi-polar, but i don't want to "bother" my family with it. what do i do?

my family loves me so much, dont get me wrong. and i know that they would support me. but it doesnt seem like abig deal now, but i'm afraid of it escalting.

i am constantly having mood swings, and i know thats normal for teenage girls, but its different. and a lot different than it used to be. Now when i'm at sleepovers i just sit there and don't join in on anything. before i was the life of the party. but other days it seems like i cna't stop talking or laughing or moving. like i'vejust got to keep going and i'm overly happy for no reason.

right now it's not a big deal because i can handle it, but i havent talked to anyone about it and i'm afraid that one day i wont be able to handle it. but m family's been through a lot, and we dont have the money for doctors so i dont want to bother with that, especially if right now it seems fine to me.

help. i just dont know if i should do nothing or tlak to my friends or what. i dont want anyone worrying about me.

Well you should speak to your family. You might be simply depressed, not that that is not serious. You would benefit from seeing a therapist. There are clinic which provide care on a sliding scale.
