Well I dont necessarily think that I have bipolar as well but i meet the ENTIRE criteria for Inattentive type and 1 less of the ENTIRE criteria for Hyperactive/Impulsive type. So Adhd is deff there. I just tend to see a pattern between WHY i end up crying and depressed after having panic attacks and feeling like no one can help me and feeling the urge to hurt myself(but dont actually, just the thoughts are there). But it's not every day all day its just...random enough that I can't mentally keep track of it..and writing it all down is exhausting to even think about.

I'm sorry to hear that not much has worked for you, honestly that makes me nervous just thinking about it.

How "extreme" (the irritation and mood swings) does it have to be for a person to be classified bipolar?

Like without medication, referring to you, Setso, is it like extremely obvious that you're upset and angry(for lack of a correct word), or is it mostly an internal kind of struggle for you? Just curious.
