Am i bipolar?

6 Comments

I was reading an article about people having mental issues and what the signs are...one of them was how your mood instantly changes in an unhealthy way. I noticed my mood changes a lot. I can go from not feeling something to being so enthusiastic about it. I can get really down and depressed then I'm super gitty and happy. It's really annoying especially when it gets you confused about how you truly feel for something. For example, my new job. It's not something I want to do but I have to do it cause I need a job. The job itself is not appealing to me but so far, my coworkers, the environment, the job's benefits and all are great so I think just be grateful and do it. So sometimes I'm up for it and ready to work but then sometimes in the day I get so negative and feel like looking for something else. I am so convinced that I should leave but then later, I'm convinced I'm in the right place. This happens a lot with other stuff, too. I'm just so convinced about how I feel about that certain thing but then it changes to the opposite later. It's unproductive and getting in the way of life. I wanna know how do I stay at one place and consistently? It's almost like yo-yo dieting and I need to just do something sustainable. Am I bipolar? Regardless, how do I improve this? Thanks.

    You cannot be diagnosed by asking people online. You need to see a professional for assessment.

    See a professional. If you have extreme and unexplained mood swings and racing thoughts, it's likely that you have it (I'm bipolar so I know), but only a professional can officially diagnose you.

    You should see a professional. That said, if you've ever gone from spotlessly happy into unprovoked (no external cause, troubling thoughts) mood swings in either direction (up or down) it's possible. Try to cut smart phone usage down, adjust your diet and take a multivitamin first. Also drink water. Water is huge. If this sounds weirdly holistic, it's mostly because these are the changes you'd be asked to make with bipolar anyway in addition to therapy. Exercise can also help tremendously. If you level off after trying these for a while, no sweat. If not just discuss it further. No excuse not to take care of yourself.

    Sounds nothing like bipolar, luckily for you ..
    Obviously we can't diagnose you, but quick mood changes and black and white thinking are symptoms of borderline personality disorder ..
    Or there could be nothing wrong with you and you've just convinced yourself something's wrong after reading that article ..

    What you described has nothing to do with bipolar disorder

    Sounds like PMS to me. I know a lot of women who act the same way about one week each month.
