I think I have Bipolar, what do you think?

I am bipolar and was diagnosed when I was a teenager. From what I understand the teen years are a common time to start showing symptoms. I suggest seeing a therapist and then possibly a psychiatrist if your therapist feels you may need medication. Many of the medications can have dangerous side effects so they are not an easy way out. A support group can help alot, just by letting you know you are not alone and having others around who are going through the same thing. It can also be a good place to get tips on how to deal with things in a more positive way so bipolar is not such a destructive force in your life. You seem to have many of the common symptoms and should see a professional for diagnosis. Bipolar is a chemical problem, not just a mood swing and most people have no idea how hard it is to deal with and still try to have a fulfilling life. I wish you luck.
