Hey People,

I've been wondering since two years if I was bi polar or not. There are some days when I feel very depressed and sometimes I feel like not doing anything but just eat allot and lay on my bed watching T.V. I did try to commit suicide. There are a few days when I just want to get up and sing allot or run in circles until I get very dizzy or even dance. I feel like I need help but I don't know how to tell my mom. I've had a therapist before and I felt like I didn't really take much of it, but im hoping that I can talk to my mom about this but I just don't know how to. Can anyone give me tips on how I can talk to my mom about my problems?

Get diagnosed first! Talk to your regular doctor and express your concerns then see what happens. It will be a lot easier to tell your mom if you have backing.
Besided I'm not really sure how bipolar you are...I mean your symptoms could be pointing to other illnesses.

How old are you? If you are under twenty-one, an accurate diagnosis is rather difficult unless your symptoms are severe. When you're a teenager there's a lot going on, your body is changing, your hormones are all out of whack, which can-and more often than not-does cause mood swings. The difference between Bipolar/not Bipolar depends upon the severity of the mood swings.

Yes, tell your mother that you feel like you might be bipolar and you'd like to see a psychiatrist or a therapist. If she doesn't take you seriously (my mother didn't. rolleyes ) tell your guidance counselor at your school, and also, research as much as you can about Bipolar disorder.
