Could I have Bipolar Disorder…?
For as long as I remember, I've been judged and made fun of based on what I look like and I'm pretty much always in the dark; I feel like no one cares about my existence. In the last year or so, there have been times where my sex drive went through the roof..I did all sorts of things on webcam for strangers and I felt like I was making foolish decisions. For a while I was normal till winter when I got depressed for a month.
Right now, my mood is so unstable it scares me. It rapidly cycles; one minute I'm talking a lot faster than usual and I look like I don't have a care in the world (Extremely irritable at the same time as well) and literally, in 2 minutes, I just go quiet and stare into space like someone whose dreams just got shattered. I've also heard things that weren't there 4 times till now..possibly more.
It hasn't really affected my academic performance in school..I'm doing quite good. But my relationships with everyone are so severed and I feel so helpless and lonely. My mum agreed to let me change my school, do everything it takes to fix my skin and fix my nose and I was so happy for a while. But the mood swings haven't gone away. At first I thought maybe it was because of low self esteem and my school and I was just really stressed..
..But turns out, it hasn't gone away. What's wrong with me?! D:

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Adrianna, First of all, you are extremely intelligent and very insightful. The first step to beginnning your recovery is to see a dermatologist and whatever physicians you need in order to feel better about your acne and yourself. This will address the root cause of most issues. Secondly, a great deal of what you are saying is consistent with a highly intelligent teen who finds herself thrust in a world with less intelligent and less evolved peers who feel better about themselves by pushing others down. Remember that the teen years are the ones in which the broadest excursions of mood do occur, and that this innate fragility is what accounts for the higher percentage of suicide attempts in teens. So, what I am saying is that your moods may well be within normal limits. The same hormones which drive your acne, drive your mood as well. Third, despite your commentary, your narrative speaks less toward bipolar disorder and more toward depression. It would be prudent and reasonable to find a counsellor who would simply monitor you and support you through the difficult teen years until you head to university where it is my belief, you will truly blossom. I truly wish you very best wishes. Source(s): Psychiatry (A physician text)
If your moods are rapidly changing I doubt it is Bipolar, since people with bipolar experience prologned moods; ie days or weeks manic/days or weeks depressive. It does sound like you are not coping very well though. I would suggest you see your doctor, you seem to have some kind of depression.
