Hi Jackie,

It sounds like you've got it pretty bad right now. I know you don't want to see a doctor, but the way you're feeling has got to suck and they may be able to make it better. You're not crazy, you're bipolar, and that is a chemical/biological illness just like cancer is. People are uneducated if they make fun of you.

I know you must be scared, but you have to tell someone how you feel.
Write them a note, tell them you are scared, sometimes that makes it easier if you write it down. Your mom loves you and would probably do anything to help you so you don't feel like this. Your mom would probably rather find out in a note than in the hospital how upset you are. Please get some help, honey...

let me know if I can do anything,
Birch

Bipolar disorder really is easy to treat with medication hon! You don't have to feel the way you do, and you don't deserve to feel the way you do. Tell someone and tell them you need help, that you don't want to feel this way any more.

Psychiatrists aren't just for crazy people. I bet you about 80% of the american population will see a psychiatrist at some time in there life. And they really can help you. If you had cancer, would you refuse to go to the doctor for treatment? No! There is nothing wrong with getting help.

if your 15 its possible your just having a rough time through puberty and/or depression. its hard to pin point you have bpd at your age because of how in the teenage stage your body is developing and your mind is too. thus causing confusion, anger, immaturity, and depression. once you hit your 20's your frontal lobe is more developed and you become more mature. therefore you become calm and think more logically and stop acting on impulses. usually if bpd or schizophrenia runs in your family theres a chance you have it also, its believed that its genetically passed on. i find it hard to believe youve been diagnosed with Hypomania Bipolar Disorder when you sound like a common teenager. perhaps practice in selfcontrol and anger management will do you good or just time and age.
