Ok what Ive noticed with me is that most of the time im in a normal mood or in a mood that sort of fits the hypomania criteria, like Ive been for the pas week. Super(but i mean super) sociable, extra-energized, super confident, risk taking... and then every now and then I hit this wall and I feel down and unconfident, i get bad vibes from ppl(like they dont find me as funny), feel shy, introverted.

And it comes out of no where(at least I think). That "depressed" episode usually lasts for a day or 2 only. Ive been down for almost the past 2 days but 2day im feeling better, more sociable and more me. I havent went out tho so idk if im completely ok.

Edit: btw im 17 yrs and I think ive been getting these depressing episodes for a year-year 1/2 or 2.

Hi and Welcome Bobo50

I really think that you need to talk to your parents about this, so that you could see a doctor or a therapist. If you do have bipolar getting a diagnosis and on treatment as soon as possible will help you to stay more stable and allow you to manage it better.

I have the same, only it's the opposite for me. Once in a while I feel highy energetic and outgoing, but most of the time, I feel depressed, shy, and sad. I guess your lucky, considering that your more happy at times then me.

I hope this doesn't mean im bipolar, because i'm scared to tell my parents or a councelor about how i'm feeling.

I told my college I was bipolar and they kicked me out! Go figure
