Hello,
I am a 15 year old female and for the past few months I haven't been feeling like myself. It all started around 3 months ago, I would start having these feelings of being on top of the world, then about an hour later I would come crashing down and feeling depressed. I was not on or near my period at the times that this happens.. It goes on for around a week, then stops for another while. It is very hard to explain. Nothing has happened in my life has happened that seemed to bother me since these started happening, for no reason I just get into these moods, and I seem like I cannot concentrate, I am losing weight too. This all started when I was in class one day, and had a very embarrassing panic attack. It was out of the blue. They started coming back recently and are getting worse. Also in the past month my sex drive has increased extremely! I barely feel like this and it will not go away, I feel very anxious too. I am also barely sleeping, but when I wake up I feel very energetic. I am unable to concentrate and this is getting in the way of my schoolwork also. I have never thought of suicide though, never would I do that. I just got over being upset around an hour ago, it comes and goes and when I think about what is happening I get even more upset.I talked to my school guidance counselor and she gave me a test, I answered the questions and she said she thinks I might be mildly depressed. I have searched up everything I could on google and it all leads to BiPolar. Depression runs in one side of my family too, the same side that is depressed are also addicted to drugs, and I really do not want to end up like that.
If anyone has any idea of what is happening, please respond.
Thank you,
