Do i have bi-polar? - Bipolar Disorder Message Board

I i have a problem where i would say two weeks in total (not two weeks in a row. A day here and a day there but it adds up to two weeks) i am in a bad mood and i really hate my boyfriend, i think about leaving him, one day i looked at how much it would be to rent a house for me and our son, i accuse him of cheating on me so he might confess so i can then kick him out and i don't want him to touch me or come near me.
Then the rest of the time i love him loads and want to hug him and kiss him all the time, i act stupid, doing stupid dances, pulling moonies lol.
I'm not sure if this is hormonal or not because a few days before my period i was in a really good mood.
We are both 27 and have been together 8 years.
I have been on anti-depressents before when i was 19, i had problems at home when my mum and dad divorced and my mum met someone else and she let me to live in our house alone while she and my sister moved in with her boyfriend, I struggled as i was unemployed and only knew how to cook toast.

What do you think?

The only one who can diagnose you is a qualified psychiatrist. They are the only ones who are able to do that.

Hi,
Welcome to the board. I agree with Llama. Seeing a psychiatrist is the only true way to get a proper diagnosis.

Relationships aren't easy as it is, perhaps you could keep in mind that you are a mother and doing what you described will encourage the same behaviour in a copy-cat way with your son. That would not go down well with your son's friends,
strangers nor family members. I strongly advise you to seek the help of a professional as soon as possible. Until then, keep in mind what your son is witnessing from his mother and that way, it might help you to keep yourself level.

I am not dismissing your feelings, but attempting to give you a little bit of help until you see a psychiatrist.

Sending happy vibes your way,
