Am I bipolar? or is it just Anxiety? or am I paranoid?

Filed in Category Symptoms of Exstacy Use


I kknow this isn’t the place to get diagnosed and I havea asked a similar question earlier.. but i am seriously terrified. Please if anyone has an idea of what could be wrong, please let me know. Okay so I have had anxiety for almost 9 months, and ever since I was diagnosed I have been constantly looking up symptoms and mental health conditions. I am so into looking up everything that I feel I am bipolar. First off I am 17 and going to apply for universites really soon, I keep switching between being a docor or a Chartered Accountant, and I sometimes think I have my mind set, but now I am just leaving it to where I will be accepted. THen I have noticed that in the beginging of school I am always really good.. like 100 on everything, then after midterm I start to decline in my marks. I have also done Exstacy previously because I was Tricked into it, and I did for 2 months. Then I did diet pills for a while.. but I ma clean now from everything for exactly a year. I feel when i think of my past I get really depressed, and when I look up symptoms for mentall illnesses I get really afraid, depressed and cry. I get extrermly scared as well when searching things. I am so desperate to find the reason.. and I regret ever doing drugs.. Also weed but only like 7 times. And my used to be friend was Bipolar. Also for example today I went to school and At first I was really sad because I din’t get my homeworkk done, but then i finally understood the stuff i was learning and got really interested and extremly happy and relieved.. and then When I came home ot move onto the next chapter I became really sad becaudse I didn’t get it again.. and when I was with my family i KEEP ASKING THEM IF i MAY BE BIPOlar.. and they keep saying I am just paranoid..I allso thought I was schizophrenic.. but hounestly I don’t hear voices or anything.. I just get really paranoid at the faintist sound. And I get really irritated at times.. Like I will break at my mom if she wants me to do something.. because I feel annoyed but I love her.. and I work so much that I over work myself and then I take a week off and so on.. I am super scared and confused I am desperate to find out what is wrong.. I am embarassed to talk to my doctor because I feel like I am annoying him, and I am going through counselling. Also I have been previously diagnosed with PTSD, ANxiety and mild depression.. but not like manic.. So far no suicidal thoughts.. but sometimes I do get these disturbing thoughts of kkilling a baby or someone and I can see the blood.. but only so far like three times..please don;t be mean when replying.. I know it’s bad but i only hink or if you want to say imagine it but I don’t actually see my self ever doing it!! I feel like a really messed up person HELP!!1 oh and sometimes things feel unreal…..

    I’m sorry but, nothing you have said in your question leads me to believe you’re Bipolar. You just sound like you have a lot of bad anxiety and you’re paranoid. Because when you talk about being sad, and then being happy in 1 day, that’s just mood swings, Bipolar episodes last for weeks to months.

    You said you had bipolar, but you don’t get manic depression
    That is what bipolar is, up and down moods, and these mood swings last a long time, more then a day
    You most defiantly sound like you have an anxiety disorder, and looking at all these other conditions aren’t going to help if you are going to think that you have every single one of them

    Anxiety disorders can be just as bad as bipolar, but they are two different things, and the paranoia can come from your anxiety disorder too, I have an anxiety disorder too, but I am beginning to take control

    You need something that you can distract yourself with, or this big anxiety monster is going to eat you alive, and don’t forget, you are only young, most of this anxiety will just disappear when you get in to your 20′s, I found that computers were great, for distracting me from my anxiety, I am a Linux expert now :-)

    Good luck with your anxiety problems, and just let it past, if your problems get too much for you to handle, tell your parents that you aren’t coping, or tell your doctor

    As a person diagnosised for 8 years, your symptoms could be bipolar disorder. You sound like your are what we ill people call “rapid cycling” where one minute your up and one minute your down….like a roller coaster. For example, one moment I could just be irrate and irritated on my hubby, and then about 15 minutes later…down in the dumps for no reason. Don’t let them tell you that it has to be a “happy” mania…where you are extremely euphoric…not so. I get angry and so out of control for my mania…that when I come down…I feel like the worse person in the world.

    I would suggest to see some one to get diagnosis, and possible medications. You might have a paranoid disorder too…please get some help and you will be better for it.

    Good Luck and God Bless.

    Dude .. that sounds really messed up ..can you speak to a close friend outside of family that might be able to help you? Thats what I done with my depression problem and it helped a great deal. You probably need a vacation or something – somewhere where you can calm down some and think more clearly .. The more you can get rid of these scary thoughts, the better. But try not to take anything out on your family though .. even if it means turning round and screaming at a wall, it would be better than taking that frustration out on someone you care about.
    Anyways, I hope this has been a help .. but at least try to be at peace with yourself more yea?

    Ok, take deep breath and relax! poopsie or whatever could be right,I have rapid cycling bipolar. on meds I have my ups and downs, but alot more inbetweens these days. I do have bad anxiety from PTSD, (controled by meds) you may have a mild form called cyclothymia with a side order of anxiety. You need to talk to a Dr. don’t rely on online info you’ll drive yourself nuts!
