Answers:
It is really easy to diagnose yourself with bipolar, 90% of people have the symptoms. Dysthymia is sorta like a personality trait where you are depressed for like 2 years. So since your symptoms are recent I would exclude that. As far as bipolar it is possible that you have it. HAve you had depression for 2 weeks, hypermania for 1 week. IF you did go see a shrink, you need to be on meds. If you dont than mabye you are just having a down time. Afterall everyone feels like **** sometimes, doesnt make you sick
