Is it possible i'm bipolar?!
Question: My sisters seriously think I am (mainly because I blowup at them because they are so damn irritating, they can just ask me a question and it piss me off).
A few of my friends have asked me if i was a few times, but My parents have never said anything to me about it, and i'm 16 now. I also think i'm a hypochondriac, but that too I don't know, and maybe this is just another one of the things I think is wrong with me.
I know i have some really serious anger issues, but why.. could it be bipolar?

it is possible--Bi-Polar disorder is a mood swing disorder. You need to talk to your doctor and get a referral to talk to a counselor. You did not indicate you are or sex. Boys are usually the ones to "blow-up" But It can be girl's too. Boys have a harder time identifying their moods--so they swing into anger. Girls usually in to depression and weeping. We are a family of Bi-Polars sooooooooooo
anger issues do not=bipolar disorder. Here's what does. Constantly feeling like you're on a roller coaster of emotion, being extremely sad for a while, and then being extremely happy but never feeling anywhere in between.
Yes, it is possible, I am.
Anything is possible. I went for years being bipolar and not knowing what was wrong. Finally after alot of emotional ups and downs I found a therapists who really seemed to want to help me. Also you are still only 16, which means you are going through alot of changes. This may or may not be affecting how you feel.
I had a sister like you when I was younger. I couldn't ask her a question. Can't go in the kitchen when she was in there. She would get pissed off at everyhting. I didn't even have to say anything. You should try to mello out, and be nice. Because I haven't talked ot my sister in years. She made my childhood so miserable. ALl she ever did was argue and fight with everyone in the family, especially my MOM.
everyone has mood swings. i think at sixteen it could be hormonal. you think you are a hypochondriac. did someone suggest you were?
not necessarily bi-polar you be you just need redirction on how to control your anger and deal with your peers. Bi-polar disorder is a very serious disorder my son has this condition and if not treated can just progress into something more dangerous than what you think but I agree you should get a referral to see your primary care doctor so they can refer you to a psychologist and psychriatrist for testing and dont lie on the test they will know if you did. Check these web sites out just to open your mind about what bi-polar is and the symptoms etc..

Bipolar disorder is a cycle -- there's is euphoric, on-top-of-the-world, I'm invincible mania and then the crashing, stay in bed for days, I want to die depression. You do not have bipolar although it's possible you have a mood disorder. I think it more likely you have "adolescence". It's okay, you'll outgrow it.
One piece of knowledge i've shared a million times on here. To be diagnosed with bioplar you must have a manic episode which lasts at least 7 days at least once in your lifetime. A manic episode includes really good mood, decreased need for sleep, inflated self esteem, doing things not typical of that person, sometimes hallucinations. Remember this must go on for 7 days uninterrupted. Doesn't sound to me like that's the case with you. Some of your other issues may be better helped by a therapist though. Good luck.
