I just don't know.

I have always had trouble controlling my emotions. I am either up in the air flying, or down in the dumps sinking lower and lower into depression. I realized that I needed help a few days earlier when my teacher screamed at me that she wished I could get my hormones and emotions under control. When I was ten I became anorexic and then with some help I became bulimic. By the time I was twelve I had begun to eat normal, but my outburts of hatred, love, laughter, and violence became much worse. For the whole summer of 2012 I sat alone in my room while my family was swimming in our pool happily. Nobody noticed my absense and I became depressed for three straight months. When school came around I became extremely happy and was floating once again. Now I am thirteen, seeing a therapist, screaming at my mother, messing up my relationships with my friends for no reasons, and all the oppisites every few weeks. I just don't know whats going on with me and then I found this site. I took the bipolar test and I got a 43 which means I have a good chance that I might be Bipolar. Yet, I took the Borderline Personality Disorder and it said I definetely have a problem. I don't want to make a big deal out of nothing.. Please any advice?

Certainly your life is not running smoothly. How long have you been seeing your Therapist??? What does he/she say? These online quizzes ,,, yeah don't take them to serious... I would imagine the teenage hormones could be at play here also. Keep seeing your Therapist they will be able to help guide you in the right way to feeling better.

Hi, and welcome to PC. It sounds like you're struggling through a lot right now and can use some support. You've come to the right place, and there are a few good forums at which you could be posting. Your therapist is a good guide for you right now; it is best to have him or her make a diagnosis rather than self-test but certainly take your concerns into your next appointment. I agree that hormones can be playing a very big role in some of this. It's a very critical time in your development. Wishing you the best.

Please ask for medical check for hormones sometimes birth control helps. Bring up with yor therapist that you worry about the possiblity of bipolar and would like a psy exam. Most drs are going to suggest medication. So make sure you try everything else in your power before this next step but if it comes down to your safety or temporary meds please try it. Eating disorders and bipolar are particularly hard to deal with.
