: I was just curious as to wheather or not it might be possible if I had bipolar disorder. I was in a deep depression for about six months. Then for a week after that, I was suddenly fine. After that for about a month and a half I was normal but a little bit on the hyper side; people were constantly telling me to calm down. After that, I was normal again for about two weeks, and for the last month I have been depressed again. I'm only thirteen....is it possible? I'm kind of scared of the counsellor at my school...he's REALLY scary....and I'm afraid to tell anyone I know in case I'm wrong. I need an answer because for a while I was even pondering suicide.... Can someone help me please?
