I think I might have bipolar my biological mother had it.I have noticed something off for years, I scare myself sometimes...I am almost always irritated and aggravated for no reason then when someone says something to me or I feel like i am being accused or trapped I flip out very violently I throw stuff brake stuff.I can't even keep a job I sleep alot at times and I don't fell like going anywhere or doing anything.I cry alot too sometimes out of the blue.my mind races.I don't know whats wrong with me I can't take it..I have 4 children and its so hard with my anger and mood swings I hate yelling at them but when they don't listen I scream at them not just yell and I scare my self with some of my thoughts..I'm scared to go to the doc.there is so many more emotions I go threw on a daily basis I can't even keep a relationship cause no one can deal with me.

Welcome hcrichto I know it's hard to reach out for professional help. My mom has BP too and I didn't seek professional help until my symptoms were so bad I couldn't ignore them. Waiting to get help nearly caused the loss of my life.

I would suggest seeing your GP and ask for a full physical exam, including blood work because there are some medical conditions that can mimic mental illness. While at this appointment request a referral to see a Psychiatrist. I would also suggest tracking your mood. I use this one online: http://www.medhelp.org/land/mood-tracker I know it's hard to ask for help, but you don't need to suffer in silence.
