Meaning/feeling of bipolar

Hi, i just want to get a better understanding of bipolar, i thought at one point i did have it because i experience rapid mood cycles and emotions at the same time like happiness and depression. But i feel like i am getting that mixed with a different disorder i may have. Thank you if you do answer i really appreciate it telling me your experience with bipolar and respect that.

  Bipolar effects a person's emotions as well as their understanding of emotions generally on a continually basis but how it occurs in each individual is complex. There are also several sub categories of bipolar. The best thing to do is see long these concerns have lasted and how they effect you in general. Also keep a mood tracker as that can help with this.  Regardless of cause if you have concerns tha effect your daily life it would be worthwhile to see a psychiatrist and they could decide what the appropriate course of action is within their professional discretion. In the meantime this could be of help for informational purposes:
