Do i have bipolar symptoms?

Question

i feel the need to not go out to stay at home all the time, to move things like furniture all the time, or to change my appearance.

i get angry sometimes and cause episodes such as hitting scratching biting anyone around me or just most the time myself i think about suicide a lot have already made an attempt two years ago but since then have never really gone through with it.

i seem to have to blame everything that goes wrong on myself

sometimes i just want out

but i think i need help

thank you for your time

Answer 1

Hi there,

I'm no expert, but doesn't sound Like bipolar to me, more like severe Depression, anxiety, perhaps panic attacks stopping you going out, and slight obsessional behaviour keeping you in.  If it was bipolar you would experience manic episodes.

try finding someone who will listen, you are certainly not to blame for everything.

You do need help, most GPs are fantastic with this sort of problem.

Good luck

Answer 2

This does sound more like depression but be aware that hypomania can cause you to feel very irritable and angry as well. I suffer from that a lot. Regardless of what's going on (and who among us truly knows?), you should see a psychiatrist or doctor and get a professional opinion. There are lots of us out here with problems like yours. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Answer 3

You should really see a doctor (Psychiatrist). This is a very serious issue. Many people I know had the same symptoms as you and now they are being treated for it. They feel a lot better now.

I do believe that you have bipolar. If it is not bipolar, it is some form of depression. I strongly reccomend you to see a doctor. And please see a good doctor.

Answer 4

Sounds like you really need to see a Dr.  But no does not sound like bipolar.

Answer 5

Not at all. Sounds like you are depressed and are trying to eleviate this feeling by changing your room around/your apperance to make a change...or make yourself feel better. These are definite signs of depression.

.....People who are Bi-polar swing from extreme lows to extreme highs.....an extreme high would be mania...non stop talking with extreme happiness...then maybe suicidal depression 2 days later...then back and forth...back and forth....This is called depression what you are asking about.

Answer 6

You have depression, not bipolar. If you had bipolar ,you will feel extremely happy or hyper half of the time. You may have also some compulsive behavior,but I don't think that is a major issue. Go see a psychiatrist for the exact diagnosis.
