Im only 17 and a senior in high school so im not sure if im bipolar or not, I have been told I am so many times that Im starting to believe it. I have a pretty normal life, (minus the fact I have slightly psychotic parents) So I will be completely happy one moment and then the smallest thing will set me off, and when I get mad, it's not just upset mad, it's MAD as in throughing things and yelling, then five minutes later Im back to being happy or crying or whatever it may be, my moodes just change so often. What do you think? Is there a chance that I could be bipolar? Or do you think Im just a normal teenager who is tressed out and doesnt know how to deal with her emotions?

Hey, it sounds like a possibility that you may have bipolar... but i think id need to know more before i could answer that, id suggest talking to a dr? see what they think... either way it sounds like you have some anger problems that need to be dealt with bipolar or not.. Good luck!

Hi suzy,
I would have to agree with Candy. We would have to know more to give you any opinions and that doesn't even guarantee that you have it. Only a Dr preferably a psychiatrist can diagnose. It may be also that you may have some kind of anger/or mood disorder. But definately I would suggest you see a Dr. Good luck and take care.
