Hi Shannon, Welcome to the forum.
It's impossible for anyone here to help you with an exact diagnosis, for a number of reasons (we don't know your medical or family history, we aren't medical professionals, etc.).
That said, we can certainly share our own experiences and provide support.
Have you seen a psychiatrist? I wouldn't feel comfortable with any other type of MD to diagnose a mental illness (or not).
What you've described to me sounds like depression...I'm not getting what in my experience describes hypomania or mania. But again, I'm no expert. You may very well have bipolar disorder. It's so important to see a pdoc.
I'm guessing that your parents weren't supportive because they didn't want to face their own issues (such as alcoholism), and who knows why else. It's extremely challenging, and can be so very painful, not to have family support.
