Where can I find out if I am Bi-polar?

Question

I think I may be Bi-polar, I mean I was watching Mama Mia and was super happy, but now (this is 2 hours later) I am really down and wanting to die.

I have been like this for a few years but never told any one in my family besides my brother, but he thinks I am a freak anyways..

I also put myself down alot and I dont take pride in anything, I may be happy outside, but on the inside I am crying and begging to die.

I dont think its normal for me to act like this, so I think I may be Bi-polar, but then again I am self diagnosing and people will just make fun of me for that.

.. I wana die

Answer 1

Awwww. Go see a psychiatrist. This might be bi-polar or it might be depression. However, I rarely hear of people admitting to such phycological disorders. Many times they cannot realize their state of mind is a problem.  

Answer 2

The place to find out is from a local, qualified health practitioner who can examine you.

Answer 3

you dont sound bi-polar in the type 1 or type 2 sense (episodes of mania and episodes of depression).  those would be pronounced and people would notice them.  you would talk really fast and be very active in the times of mania.  you wouldnt be able to complete a thought or anything like that.  you would start crazy projects but never finish them.  this isnt like being excited or anything like that, it is a very specific feeling, mania.

what it sounds like is run of the mill depression.  i think what you are experiencing is a pretty standard mood swing.  i have them a couple times a day. i will be ok, down right chipper, then i will snap and totally turn and want to rip somebodies throat out.  

ive been on every drug on the market and they have made me sick, or ive lost s*x drive, or ive gained weight or ive tried to kill myself, on antidepressants... counter productive no?  and i have to say, the best therapy that i have found is working out and keeping busy, and i take the moodiness and stuff in stride.

maybe talk to somebody, but please, be wary of the pills.  doctors love to hand them out.  remember, the pen they sign their prescription pad with was given to them by a drug company.  

good luck!
