-- Posted by BrittneyNicolle at 8:32 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 So. I Really Think I'm BiPolar. I'm So Up And Down It's Fucking Crazy. And I Took Like, Tons Of BiPolar Test Things On Those Health WebSites. On Most Of Them You Have To Score Over FiftyOne To Be "BiPolar". I Scored Over FiftyOne On All Of Them. I Don't Want To Say AnyThing To My Mom. But I Want To Talk To My Doctor. What Should I Do? -- By The Way, I Don't Give A Fuck If You Say- Stop Capitalizing Every Word. That Might Help. So, Shut The Fuck Up, In Advance. -- Posted by Wunarmdscissor at 8:33 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 how often does your mood shift? -- Posted by PreppyPeyton at 8:34 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 1 dont trust the internet 2 its not a biggie just talk to your mom and let her know your being serious -- Posted by snowfish at 8:34 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 keep in mind that you're a teenager whose hormones are entirely out of whack. I would guess there are very few teens who don't fit the signs of either bipolar or depression at some point in their puberty. -- Posted by BrittneyNicolle at 8:35 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from Wunarmdscissor at 9:33 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 how often does your mood shift? Every Hour Or So. If That. It Depends. I'm Never In The Same Mood For More Than An Hour. -- Posted by whips handcuffs at 8:35 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 you have to tell your mom eventually, psychiatric help isn't available to teens without parental consent and you'll probably need meds. -- Posted by Faoiseamh at 8:35 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Brittney Nicolle, your parents are there to help you. I know talking to parents about emotions is difficult for anyone, but they'll help you if you are in need of help. Depression is a complex can of worms, but it can definitely be overcome. Send me a message if you want to talk more - I'm more than willing to help someone in need. -- Posted by Lohrbas at 8:35 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 You Know What's Fucking Crazy?

I did the same thing, and it turns out I was just choosing the answers I knew would lead to the results I desired. If you're curious about a diagnosis, then going to a doctor for at least sixth months would likely be necessary. Even with that, though, it cannot be ascertained whether you have bipolar disorder until your brain has fully developed, in your mid-20's or so. I've been diagnosed as bipolar by a few different doctors, and unless you are having severe issues with living (as in your mood swings are scaring people, causing poor impulse control, or inviting suicidal or other harmful thoughts), you are probably okay. Try keeping track of your mood, with a journal or something, for about a month. You can show it to your parents, if you'd like to see a doctor. Best of luck :) -- Posted by Mieux at 8:50 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 all the doctor will do is prescribe you meds   -- Posted by Mieux at 8:54 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 Quote: from HOLLOWdepths at 11:42 pm on Dec. 29, 2008 It seems like you may be getting a little too caught up in the internet tests.

Best of luck :) this is good advice the same thing occurs with personality tests. when you take a personality test you tend to give answers that would give you the results you want rather than answers that are accurate. and of course doctors are not perfect; they are prone to misdiagnosis. if this really impacts your life in a negative way, then go ahead and seek help. i'd research safer, alternative methods of treating bipolar disorder (ways that you can lessen its impact on your life by yourself) before seeing a doctor though. -- Posted by mrmomo at 5:26 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 internet tests aren't there to diagnose you. it's hormones. I bet you. you're 14. even if you're rapid cycling, which I doubt, you're 14. don't be so quick to thinking you're bipolar. I really get frustrated when people are like, "I think I'm bipolar....I have mood swings." it's called being a teenager.
