Need Help. Think I might Have Bipolar Depression.
Posted: Fri Dec 22, 2017 2:35 am
I've been wondering this question for a while now. I just don't know who to ask.
Let's back-track a little bit.
If you check out my profile, you will know I've been depressed since 7/8th grade. My parents trying to be good parents have tried getting me help. a year ago they took me to the family counselor (that we only saw once a month) and only let me go for 2 sessions before they gave up on it. Never said "gas money is getting too high" "we don't have the time" **"we'll find more help"** nothing. Just stopped. Ever since then I've felt like i'm on my own, besides of "Bob" (my bf). My school has been telling me they are trying to set up a counselor for me. That was a month ago. So now my parents, school, and my friends just don't understand so they've given up on me too. Just me, Bob, and this chat room. That's all I have.
I've been able to get my depression "under control" by being over loaded with school. So now I have depression, but it's not a 24/7 thing. It comes on when ever it feels like. It's rarely caused by a trigger. Once, maybe a few times every other day. If I were to try to estimate. I just can't seem to find any regularity in it. I can't see anybody to get a professional opinion on it, I just need someone to answer this question for me.
With your judgement on my situation, do you think I might have bipolar depression? I'm trying to figure out why I can't get a hold of it, so as any teen I looked it up and this is what came up mostly. Just want someone who has gone through this to help with their opinion.
Thank you!
