Help!!
Hi! I might talk to my doctor about this but I thought this thread might be a good place to start. I need help determining if I am bipolar. I have very drastic mood swings all the time and almost every day I lack motivation to do the things I normally like to do. I just needed your guys' insights so thanks!

Hey
I'm glad you are considering reaching out to the doctor as well, as only they'll be able to diagnose correctly
Meanwhile you could perhaps browse on the internet about various symptoms too and other factors that affect you?
I'm bipolar I think type 2 or mixed state and a psychiatrist and a counselor had to diagnose me. But it sounds like you have motivation related issues as well and I can tell you ime I struggle horribly to motivate daily...
Hello vixen,
I am glad you are taking steps to discover who you are. Having said that, I do think it is quite dangerous to attempt self-diagnosis through any website including seven cups. Symptoms such as you describe can be a wide target. I would discuss with your doctor, or therapist, all of the symptoms that you have, all of who you are, with complete honesty in order to obtain a proper diagnosis. Having two symptoms does not equal a mood disorder, and even the two symptoms that you name depend on its severity in order to classify as bipolar of any type. I wish you wellness and wholeness in your life.
