Sorry for my not so immediate response. I was very busy with my studies. I appreciate your assistance and wish I could find some way to repay you back for all the time, energy, thought and research you put forth. FYI, I'm not a girl and am still in 11th grade (but your inductive reasoning and analyzing skills are nonetheless amazing). I am starting to sort of have doubts about having bipolar since i don't seem to have all the symptoms. I guess it's possible that my OCD is causing me to irrationally think that I may have it or it could be the physiological changes at my age like you mentioned. 1/7 and 1/8 were literally the worst days of my life after reading about the bipolar disorder. I was really down with depression when I said that I'm not sure of my big plans in life and regretting my courses. I was still under the shock from the possibility of having bipolar. I thought i was never going to live normally again but I've calmed down and now my normal mood is slowly coming back. Yesterday, my mom asked me if something has been troubling me lately and I finally decided to revealed my OCD and ADD problem directly to her. Turns out that she does occasionally get compulsive thoughts but is able to manage them. She gave me some strategies for dealing with unwanted thoughts. I think I'm going to try her therapy first and if it doesn't work, I can get counseling or professional help. I didn't discuss the bipolar issue with her though. I'd love to hear a bit about yourself and your struggles if you don't mind.. It's nice to know that there are many successful celebrities out there with these problems. It seems as if their problems actually helped them to achieve greater success.

thnx for the support xD
