I'm 16 and two years ago I was sent to a behavioral hospital for nine days and was diagnosed with bipolar. I went to the hospital after my cousin wanted to play the ouija board with me and it pretty much messed with my mind. I thought I was possessed. Before this situation, I acted a little abnormal, like: staying up all hours of the night without being tired, randomly getting hyper, liking someone one minute hating them the next, sometimes I would hear and see things. These never caused a concern until my cousin wanted to play that game. After the hospitalization, I saw the doctor and took meds (zyperxa, zoloft, nerve med, and adhd) which seemed to make me worse. Six months later, I just stopped going to the doc because my family thought it made it worse. I've been thinking lately and I wonder if some of the symptoms I have are really bipolar like: I would be really liking a guy and then hate them, I noticed that I don't do well with noise(like young childern screaming) it makes me panic to the point of crying or sometimes makes me angery, I also try to stay in my room to avoid people, I always change my mind, whenever I'm talking often I would stop talking in mid-sentence and forget what I'm saying or change the subject, recently I've been thinking some of my friends might destroy my relationship with my current boyfriend, I also think people are trying to get me in trouble, I get randomly happy and laugh hard for no reason or nothing funny at all then sometimes I get tired and wanted to do nothing at all, during the school yr I would over-achieve then sometimes I don't want to do my homework because I think I'm a failure, sometimes when somebody says something about paranormal things I would get either very frightened or I don't believe in it, recent I stay in my room unless I'm told I need to get out, I freak out if somebody for example doesn't put a smilie in a msg and I think they are mad, just a lot of things. I have a family history of bipolar, schizo, and depress. Do you guys think I'm rly bipolar?

That's for you and your doctors to decide.

Its hard to tell, Im sorry the meds seemd to make things worse. But like cocoabeans said thats up to the doc to decide. We cant really give you any dx because we are not doctors just people who have been told are bp.

Thank you. I believe I was just misdiagnosed. I think I was just overexaggerating when I post this last night. My mood swings are perhaps from hormones. But I'll talk to a therapist.

just because your meds. aren't working does not mean you were mis-dx'd or correctly dx'd if your meds are working. The most important thing is that your meds sound like they are not working and need to be looked at as soon as possible.
