Question: What do you think this sounds like? I would hate to have to see a therapist. Help here?
Then I go through stages of being so happy and optimistic like I'm on top of the world and life is beautiful. I want to travel the world for the rest of my life like a Gypsy, I want to learn the piano, I want to learn all these different languages, I want to go to college in Ireland, I have all these amazing ideas that I can never explain to anyone.
I call them my periods of pessimism and optimism. Like I have two personalities.
I'm also very paranoid about dying and during my pessimistic stage will sometimes have panic attacks thinking about it. I had a bit of a breakdown once and started wearing a helmet in the car.
Do you guys know what this could be? My mom has taken me to two different therapists in the past but I blew both of them off because I didn't want the help but now that I think I might need some and my mom won't take me?
Answers:
Sounds like Bipolar II. It's a milder form of Bipolar disorder. A depressive state, and a manic state. It's what I have.
Most of your issues can be linked to your depression. Depression makes you want to isolate yourself - because it feels safe. So naturally you push friends away, and after awhile they stop trying.
You really need to address it. I know going to therapy is scary, but isn't it worth spending 55 minutes once a week to feel happy consistently?
Depression is part of bipolar disorder. The problem in a learning situation is the bad short time memory associated with depression. The last thing a pupil is needing a bad short time memory at school.
Therefore a lot of action is needed like brain cell protection and mood lifting. Walking in the sunshine is a good start.

your first parahraph sounds like me. I recently just moved. I talk to one friend and kinda shut out others except when I'm on facebook I talk to them. I think I may have anxiety issues about moving. But then again do you have a job? Try finding a easy job. Like work in a grocery market that might help with shyness.
well could be bipolar from what ytou are saying as you have these mood changes...you should seek help...and you should try to get some more close friends if you can
Your the perfect age for Bipolar diease. Your ups and downs are typical symptoms. Along with most of what yu have written . You will need to first see a psychiatrist to discuss living with bipolar diease teatment and thearpy. Being in your teens still, medicating is not adviseable for your age group but many times unavoidable. thru intensive therapy you wiill learn to recognize the behaviors and learn tecniques to assess what is proper feelings for the situation. Be good to yourself and keep it in the now. If you have overwhelming feelings or thought of harming yourself get help right away. this condition runs in my family affecting the males mostely.
