    Bipolar? Or Teenage Hormones
    Hi

    Lately well I've noticed over the years that I can flip from the most angelic cutest girl ever to the most disgusting none caring swearning cow in a blink of an eye, and its starting to worry me.
    When I get really angry I just black out.. if that makes sense I just can't control myself I don't think I just do, until I realize what I'm doing then I just burst out crying and go overly depressed.
    I used to self harm a lot, but now because I have a boyfriend I cant, pluss its pointless but yes.

    Am I a little bipolar? Or is it normal?

    Thankz

    First off, leith, you could have been mature enough to post where you really come from instead of (and this is completely original) Unicorn Land XD.

    Lets start here. Okay. If you think you are really bipolar, go to your doctor, get a referral and get tested (how old are you anyway).

    You used to self harm a lot, sorry, not normal. Why can't you self harm if you have a b/f ? I don't get the connection. Is it because you don't want your b/f to see the marks? What about your parents seeing the marks ? Or...

    You black out. I would get that seen too, you will probably never be able to get a drivers license.

    You have a lot of growing up to do, Leith. Get some other interests beside yoursself and your b/f, get involved in your community, get a part time job and earn some money and find self worth in yourself. All the things you should be doing at l5 you are not doing. So go for it girl. Just get out there and find yourself !

    First of all I want to say well done for realising you are not happy with the way you are and wanting to get help to understand what is going on.

    It is impossible for anyone except a qualified medical practitioner to diagnose bipolar. It seems you are suffering from some unpleasant mood swings which are making you unhappy. As you are 15, all those raging hormones might be responsible.

    However, the fact that you have been self-harming suggests that you have some deep unhappiness or anger that you are having trouble dealing with.

    I don't think you are 'mad' but I do think you are very unhappy and could do with some help sorting this out. Can you talk to your parents, doctor, school counsellor, or any other adult that you feel you can trust?
