Am I bipolar or just moody?

...See more Hi there, so to start off Im a 17 year old female and for quite a while now Ive been experiencing emotional changes that worry me. Of course, as I am only 17, Im finding it difficult to distinguish between whether Im just being a ‘typical moody teenager or if I may be mentally ill (not necessarily bipolar). Ive been doing research about bipolar disorder mainly but as many of you probably already know, its really hard to diagnose so Im not looking for a diagnosis here, just some extra opinions. It would be really helpful coming from someone who has been diagnosed with this disorder. So to start off, for the past week or so, I have been feeling empty. Emotionless, low on energy even though I sleep for a long time, I dont have the motivation or energy to get out of bed when I wake up in the morning, no motivation to do school work (Im on break but still have work for after), etc. To put it simply, I just feel dead. Before this, I cried a lot, felt really sad and low, hopeless, as if nothing good will ever happen and sometimes it was for no reason at all or just triggered by small things. There would even be times where I was so irritable/angry and would get very annoyed at even someone asking a simple question. Then Id have periods where I just woke up, not feeling tired even after a short sleep and

...See more I'm 15, turning 16 in a few months and well something's going on with me. I am not one to self diagnose but I also am not able to seek out a professional opinion so here I am. For the past few months, I feel as if I've completely lost myself. I guess it started when this guy completely destroyed my heart (it's not the first time he has but it's definitely the worst) and this was about two weeks before my exams so I was constantly crying while also stressing over my tests and I just stopped caring, I mean yeah i studied a lot still but it wasn't the same. Then actually doing the tests, i would just completly blank and I didn't even care that I could've failed, I was just..empty. After that, things got out of hand and I went to a party, got drunk (which is completely out of character as I never drink at these parties), and the guy ended up being my first kiss. Fast forward a bit and turns out he had feelings for me but couldn't do relationships so instead he dated someone else, constantly flirted with my friends to upset and generally made me feel like I wasn't good enough (this has been happening for the past 2 years). Anyway, he's gone now to another school and most of my summer has been spent missing him and generally just trying to get through the heartache. I didn't fail my exams and I passed over to the next grade and of course i was relieved. Now, I still have summer but i am just not myself and my parents keep asking what's wrong and i don't know. -
