Am I Bi Polar or something? Am I Bi Polar or something? Am I Bi Polar or something? Or is this normal?

I noticed that i would have mood swings often. Like i would think of something and it will put me in a horrible mood and i would be very angry. And the next i would be sad because i would be thinking of something else that would cause me to be so. Then i would think of something else and it would make me feel normal and sometimes even happy. I noticed that it's all in my mind... and it's whatever i was thinking at that time that causes me to feel that way. It's usually because of how i interpret things that make me feel this way... so what do you all think? Am i Bi Polar or something or is this"normal?" Thanks.

Sounds more like depression than anything else. Whatever it is, I suggest finding a therapist (a good one) to help you get your emotions under control. Meditation helps. It's normal to feel this way. The trick to controlling your reactions to your emotions is to feel them without judgement and without constantly making up reasons you feel certain ways. You might think you know why you feel sad or angry but sometimes it goes much deeper. Sometimes there are no reasons. Have compassion for your feelings an try not to stave them off or think something is wrong with you. Also, make sure you exercise - use your anger constructively - sometimes just a jog is enough physical activity to get a release of aggressive feelings... Exercise will also keep your hormones in check. Notice if your emotions correlate with your cycle. Hope this helps!

Just realized you were a guy - although men can be hormonal too ;). Sorry about that goof.

No. Bipolar people don't just have casual mood swings. Also being bipolar means more than just having crippling mood swings that can range from suicidal to dangerously giddy and carefree, to the point of mania and uncontrollable energy. There's a lot more to it.

No, you are not bipolar, not even close. You're normal, just like the rest of us.

i know someone who is bipolar and this doesn't sound like it, but there are different types with him he literally goes on rages yelling and hitting/punching people and he doesn't remember a thing, crys for hours and doesn't even know why. Suicidal out of the blue thoughts. But I suggest that if you are a bit worried for your own safety and the people around you just to go see a specialist, you may have a minor case and they could teach you either way how to deal with the thoughts and emotions

Yea It might be. And thanks for your opinion (:

it seems normal to have thoughts that are concerned with what you are thinking but if you are still having doubts about being bipolar just consult a specialist

If you worry about being bi-polar, your going to believe your bi-polar. Just relax, your normal.
