Thanx for the help. I don't have any diagnosis and this is the first time I have seeked advice about this. I have never even considered the possibilty of bipolar and it came as a shock to me that there is a chance of that. I don't know if the test things on this website are accurate at all but I took the one for bipolar and I scored a 40, which meant moderate/severe mania. The only doctor I have is my physician. Should I ask him about this or do I need to make an appointment somewhere else to look into my mood swings? I feel very lost and confused about this because I have no clue which steps to take and am embarrased to bring it up to my parents because I know they will tell me im overreacting and to just forget about it. I know how they are and won't accept the fact that something might be different about me. In other words, they won't be any help and will just discourage me from taking action about this. Thanx for the advice again Jacqui.
