Do I have bipolar disorder?

[Abbi629]

Okay so basically I'm a 14 year old girl and I think I have bipolar disorder. I can be very hyper and happy and very cocky for a couple of weeks, then I return to my normal self for days or weeks. Then I'll be depressed for a couple of weeks. The cycle pretty much is like that but it sometimes will last shorter or longer. Am I just going through puberty or is something wrong with me?

Hi,
It's been a while since you posted, but I wanted to make sure you had a response.  It's very important to talk with a trusted/safe adult about your feelings right now- it very well could be puberty (those hormones can make for a wild ride!)- or there could be something more serious.  I know if my son was feeling this way, I would want him to talk to me- hopefully, your parents would be safe to go to, to talk things through as well.  If not, you might try another safe adult- also don't hesitate to talk to your doctor about your thoughts and feelings.  

I hope you are able to reach out to someone soon- let us know how you are doing!

I also get very angered easily during the hyper and happy outbursts
