j.p555, ask just about anyone and they'll tell you how hard it was to be a teenager. I remember feeling a lot like what you've described. I'm not positive of this but I think that it's pretty hard to diagnose a teenager with bi-polar disorder because they're just naturally all over the place. we're always here to talk about stuff if you need to...be patient with yourself and know that it's not just you who's going through this.
