I was just wondering can major depression turn into Bipolar? I had depression first when I was five years old to eight then fron thirteen to sixteen and it turned into major depression by sixteen.However when I was about nineteen I noticed that I was getting high moods with my depression.Now at 21 Iv'e been getting more and more hypomanic episodes.So have I simply turned from being clinically depressed into bipolar? I'm going to be diognosed in december.The highs disrupt sleep and the way I interact with other people.Iv'e been spending sprees,my sences are hightened and I feel like a energizer bunny and go non stop and feel so awesome!Then I crash into suicidal depression.

It sounds like bp to me sweetheart, I was not dignosed until I was 24. I am 27 now and my doctor says that it could have been a lot less if I was taking pill at six years old which is when he figures that it all started and I am sure that he thinks he is right but I think that it is our life that makes us the way that we are and if your depression has turned it to bp maybe you should take in to consideration the place that you are in right now and if it is right for you or not and if not maybe that is what is making you so sad.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
