Could i have bipolar mood disorder?!
Question: Could i have bipolar mood disorder.?
I've always had extreme mood swings but i always thought i was just that..
now im thinking it could be worse.
I am on top of the world one minute and then the smallest thing goes wrong and im crying and feel like a want to die,
there never seems to be any middle ground i am constantly mega happy or suicidal sad.
the moods can last anywhere between days and months
i've lost friends because of the down days and earned my self a rep as a depressed *****. But sometimes im so confident and laughing at everything.
I don't want to do the whole doctor thing because it might seem hypochondriac and attention seeking.
what do you think.?

If it is affecting your life, and it sounds like it is - I would go see a Psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Be honest and open with the doctor - and willing to try the treatment plan.

Girls typically do have crazy mood swings thanks to PMS, but if you think it's really serious or abnormal you really should see a doctor. It's not attention seeking at all if you're getting help for a legitimate reason.Health Question & Answer

Have you had a tramatic experience in your life. You could also have PTSD besides being bipolar. Medication can take care of this. Do see your doctor and get some relief for yourself.
