How would you know if you were bipolar?

Question

How would you know if you were bipolar?

Answer 1

I'm bipolar. I was misdiagnosed several times. You could go to a doctor to get officially diagnosed and get treatment.

the best way is to keep track of your mood and triggers. sometimes i can't figure out the triggers. But i'm on medication and i only have issues when i am stressed. Sometimes though like this week i have been constantly cleaning and on a high. i can't sleep. i'm stubborn and don't want to take my sleep aid.
