Right now in life I am very stressed. I have a hard time caring about college, recently been struggling with anxiety, i am 18 andrecently moved out with my girlfriend, I struggle with OCD(obsessing over mental problems) constantly and I cannot find a job. I have tried to volunteer, start martial arts, and get a band together but these things only seem to last a week or so before I become burnt out or depressed again. Usually something stupid like taking something the wrong way my girlfriend said to me or her going out with friends and me feeling upset that I don't have any since i've moved, usually, start this day or two long depression. I've read symptons of bipolar and I don't ever get really get the manic phase but I definitely feel hopeful of my future until something snaps again and I feel sad or lonely. I sometimes think about suicide but I know i would never do such a thing. ugh, I just feel this horrible feeling of loneliness, anger/intense anxiety, and despair quite a bit lately and it seems very strange to me. I've always been moody but im beginning to think its serious.

We aren't qualified to diagnose here, but to be diagnosed as "bipolar," a person has to have at least one manic episode. You sound like you might be getting into clinical depression. I encourage you to go to your doctor and talk to him/her about it. Okay?
