Just make sure you aren't looking for reasons to be depressed. Don't feel sorry for yourself because you feel you've had a hard life, just remember someone will always have it harder than you, and people have gotten through a lot more than you without hurting themselves (I am saying "you" as generic, not specifically you). Its frustrating to me, the whole suicide thing, my brother got a girl pregnant when he was 17, he has depression, got it from my mom. We are a catholic family, so this was a huge deal and our family (except for the immediate) pretty much turned on us at first. He told me he never even thought of hurting himself. Then a more distant family member, age 18, attempts suicide because his girlfriend "might" be pregnant.

Just trying to give you an example and some perspective...you can be strong...to me there is depression, and there is being depressed. Depression is a disorder/disease/sickness whatever you would call it, being depressed is a time of your life when you feel symptoms of what that site listed. Whichever one you are, there is help for both, so dont give up. :cheers:

Invite the naysayers over for a taste of it. ;)

Seriously, like Kiki said, see a Doc. You will test positive for 75% of the "net tests" you take.

Mith here's the deal. The internet is good for reference material. It's not a doctor and it's not a pyschiatrist or psychologist. Don't rely on stupid on-line tests to judge medical conditions, and I strongly suggest you don't rely on people you don't know on a public forum like this with complete annonymity to air your inner-most feelings. You're bound to get just as much grief as you might get help as well as a healthy dose of apathy from the majority of the readers.
That test you took simply tells you that you should seek professional help, which I agree with. The site can't differentiate things like bi-polar disorder from clinical or manic depression, schitsophrenia, or ADD/disassociative disorder/MPD. A real doctor can, as well as being able to prescribe treatments to correct these dysfunctions.

Go get help instead of getting upset by the remarks of people you don't really even know on some faceless internet site. That's my advice in a nutshell. End of story.

Bi Polar, with explosve disorder.

Those that know me are sure its true. Clinically diagnosed btw.

Remeron to wind down at night, and klonopin during the day. Depekote, zoloft, zyprexa, lithium, all junk and a waste of my time.

Since i started this set ive been as close to "normal" as ive ever been, tho i still "pop" for little or no reason at times its easier to see coming and control.

Im 31, so i guess that fuggs the "you'll grow out of it" pat answer? Stick to what you know eh.

Free? I dunno, ive got insurance. If ya'll are horribly broke the clinics may help, or have an assistance program you may qualify for.

i know what ya mean, i may only slightly be bi polar because yesterday i was depressed reallly bad and then felt like i was invincable like i could do anything. Im leaning more to the depressed side. I know im depressed, and i need help

Also, think of the online IQ tests, what do they show? Nothing. It is the most inaccurate way to test for IQ.

Nobody knows you personally, at least that I know of. Nobody is messing with you either. They are telling you that a website cannot tell you that you are bipolar. Being depressed does not mean you are bipolar. If you are bipolar, you randomly become very cruel toward people you like without you knowing.

My friend's ex-wife is bipolar. It's obvious that she isn't on medication for it. You would know by your friends/family that you have it.

i didnt mean u
