Bipolar, Rapid, Mixed???

JamesNOV · 13-01-2015, 11:37 AM

I can go two three days straight being happy and nothing bothers me but just as quick as you snap your fingers I'll get sad and that easily changes to anger and it can elevate quickly. It almost never effects my work only my personal life and mainly my love life I have destroyed most of my relationships. We always start happy the love grows then snap I cause fights for no reason then we break I gain control and realize I made a mistake then up then we make up and the cycle starts all over again. Or it ends. It has gotten alot worse in the last year my current gf referred me to this website for help she used it for self harm. What I want to know is what is wrong with me and are then any coping tools anyone knows of? Please and thank you

Have you been diagnosed with bipolar? We aren't professionals here so we can't say whether this is bipolar or whatever but it does sound like your mood is causing trouble in your life and that it might need investigating. Do you have any professional support?

Not yet going to see my PCP soon this gf I have is very supporting and understanding so it will make the process alot easier.

I'm glad that you have a supportive and understanding girlfriend.

It might be worth keeping a record of your moods in the run up to seeing your PCP to give them a clear idea of how your moods affect you and the symptoms you display and when which may help them determine what diagnosis fits you and how best to treat your symptoms.
