i think i might be bipolar?

bipolar and depression run in my family, i have four people in my immediate family who have them. last year i started getting really down on myself around my birthday. i would cry everynight and get sad more easily. it wasnt so terrible, but because it ended around april, i failed most of my classses from lack of motivation. a couple weeks ago it started agian. i havent cried yet, but its alot different this time. i go to sleep when i come home from school and i cant sleep at night. ive started to have more sex, more sexual fantasies, i dont eat so well, im more anxious, and im avoiding people at all cost. im losing hope with my mother and school to the piont where i dont go so much and once im in a bad mood it spirals downward. also, ivegone one second hating a preppy girl to falling in love with a boy. i need help. please help me??? should i see someone???

"Trinity" is right, it sounds more like depression, as for the increase sexual appetite, that's kind of normal specially for a teen like you. And absolutely, you should see a doctor.

Absolutely you should seek help. You can research definitions for Bi-Polar with yahoo search. Do not - do not suggest to a mental health professional that you are bi-polar. Discuss your symptoms as you did here and allow a diagnosis. Be careful because once you take a medication, whatever it is for, it can mask symptoms, create new ones, and make it even harder to diagnose the problem. You could have a health issue, suffered a loss, could have been exposed to something in your environment, your diet could be suspect. It could as simple as not having a healthy routine - not getting 8 hours of sleep daily, not eating healthy, and not getting enough exercise. To be a successful student you have to take care of yourself (your health). Start with a physician (have a physical or exam) and utilize one of the counselors at school - they have techniques to evaluate you. Like with any condition, before settling on a treatment, be sure to get at least three oppionions! You are worth at least three professional oppinions aren't you? Good luck. I believe you do what is right. Avoid sex with others while you are experienceing this - it is unfair to them and destructive to you.

bipolar is manic depression. you go from being really really happy (mania) to really really sad and depressed. and it goes in cycles. it looks to me like you have depression. i know what its like to suffer from depression. i think you should definitely see a doctor, and they will give you somthing to make it better
