Q: Symptoms of bipolar ?

Hey, I jst edited this after realising what I originally posted was way too long. I want to know if this sounds like bipolar: basicly in shorted form, I just left school because I was stresd, I dont know why-the work was easy but I was just so down all the time. I'd go home at lunch time nd sit in the sun instead. I droped out of groups because I thought they thought I was a freak when in actual fact no one had a problem with me. I tryed to change to a new group but the same thing hapened, I wouldnt talk, thats just not the real me-at least I dont think so. I can be loud, funny and normal but just not at school. I recently got broken up with and im happy and thinking im moving on one moment and then I can feel myself go down and everything just sux, no one cares about or knows the real me, no one thinks im going anywhere with my life. I know this is not true and I try to stop these thoughts but they keep coming and I cant talk to people when im like this because I say things that I dont mean and cant seem to control it. I tryed talking to a friend about this but he just threw it back in my face pretty much. He said I was an fool, weird and too sensitive. Is any of this symptoms of bipolar?

Sounds Like Normal Adolesence
I'm no expert but it sounds like your still in your teens? Sounds like a little low self esteem and some depression. I dropped out of school at 16 and did everything the hard way. Had to return to night school. Bummer.
Do they have a ged program in your area like they do in california? That's what I ended up doing and then went to jr. College and eventually became a nurse by age 27. Don't isolate yourself it will only make you feel worse. Hang in there.

Hey, yes I am still in my teens, im 16 but I do have plans, I am saving for my own computer and I will be doing a computer/buisness course through an online type of school called the open polytechnic. No we dont have very much support for people in my situation, im working for everything I get. I went to the doctors yesterday and although here in new zealand they are aparantly advised not to give anti depresasants to teens, I have some. Today was my first day on them and I feel so much more peacefull! I can think clearly and am not thinking of suicide. It has one anoying side effect that it makes me all drowsy. I am supposed to be talking to some people who will help me deal with my self esteem also. Thank you!
