so for the past 4 years i have thought that i am bipolar. I used to cut myself a little last year but never actually was a "cutter." when i try talking to my mom about it she shuts me out and doesnt want to hear it. I have tried managing it on my own by journaling for the past two years and just enduring my moodswings. i have been doing pretty well but i still have my bad moments as i think everyone does. It gets in the way of relationships with my friends and is a problem when it comes to making major decisions. Is being undecisive common? I just wonder if i would feel better actually having a diagnosis and knowing if i am or not. I have also researched cyclothymia and think maybe i fall more into that category. I dont know. can anyone give me advice? it would be much appreciated.
