I'm happy to hear your willing to seek help or advice from a professional. Your best bet is to begin with your physician but don't stop there. Sometimes people give up to easy just because a doctor says it knowthing. Only you know your body and mind.
Hopefully your doctor will be helpfull and you can find your answers to you problems no matter what they may be.
So you took the bipolar test. Thats good but do remember,
thoughs simptums can show up in other problems or illnesses so keep an open mind.
As for your parents, family is hard at the best of times. If there is an illness or a problem you have its their problem too and in time thay will learn to deal.

Let me know how things go hun
Take care
