To those who have bipolar... do you think i have it?!

Question

there are times that i feel so looooow.. idk if that is depression.. but anyway it happens almost all the time cuz i always think of my problems and then a minute or an hour later i will be okay.. but not hyper mode. just okay. and then the next day i will sad or low again cuz of my problems then later on i'll feel okay again.. but that's because i don't think of the problems anymore.. could that be bipolar?

Answer 1

If you hadnt't at least one manic/hyper episode(emphoric/hyper mood,rapid speech and thinking,feeling on top of the world and unrealistic beliefs in your abilities e.t.c) then you probably suffer from cyclothymia(a condition with regural mood swings and deprsession but not to the level of bipolar).anyway go to see an expert

Answer 2

sounds like hypomania with depression

Answer 3

MAYBE but you may be experiencing normal ups and downs too. And even if they aren't the normal ups and downs of life, it could be a different disorder or even a medical problem, such as a thyroid problem. Ultimately, there's no way for us to tell, so see a doctor.  

Answer 4

See a doctor. There are specific criteria for diagnosing mental illnesses, and many possibliites to consider. A doctor is your only option for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.  Although, the single day between cycles typically would suggest its not due to bipolar disorder. Rapid cycling like that is not very common among patients with bipolar disorder, except in rare cases, usually after a medication change.
