scared and confused.

i've been thinking alot lately, and i'm not sure what to do.
i've never talked to a professional about it, but i think i may be bipolar.
i don't know who to talk to about it; i'm pretty sure my mom might already suspect it, or atleast suspect that there must be something wrong with me, since she knows that i cut. i've tried bringing it up to her before, but her responses always consist of her telling me that it's all in my head and that i need to stop being silly.
i don't want to tell any of my friends, because i don't want them thinking i'm unstable. the few friends that know that i cut have told me that they're afraid to come to me with any serious problems, because they don't want to feel guilty if i hurt myself afterwards.
i just don't know what to do about this. :(

See your gp and in the mean time keep a journal/tracker that you can produce to your doctor.
its hard for doctors to diagnose it because they never see the full picture, this is where the journal/tracker comes in handy.
Good luck and take care
