Welcome to PC madmamma74, it does sound like you have the symptoms for Bipolar disorder, as dreamrunner said its best to see a pdoc though for an offical diagnostic. I can relate to you in a lot of ways, I'm bipolar 1 with mixed states and rapid cycling. As a young kid at age of 8, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Depression. since I can remember all the way throughout school I was very moody and get irratable and angry easily and letting my anger get the best of things that later I'll end up regreting. I ended up just barely graduating (had a good counselor that helped me to been able to graduate.) and I also was cuttting/burning myself when I feel depressed and at the end of high school year I attempted suicide, and ended up in the psychiatric hospital, and I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and when I found out what it was it described me so very well. Now I take meds so that my moods don't go up and down the rollercoaster as much and releived that I know what I have and that there is a treatment for it.
