I am 18 years old and I have felt for the past few years like I am struggling with undiagnosed bipolar disorder. I have mentioned this to my mom but she refuses to hear it.
It feels as though I am always looking for some kind of high or some kind of change. I have been to three different colleges and had 6 different majors in a year and a half. I graduated a year early from high school. I change my mind constantly. More than most people. Whats different about this is that I dont do it because its needed, I just get bored or maybe im just having one "down" day and its almost like im running away so I try to rearrange my life.
Also I have a horrible tendency to say things I dont mean and take out my frustations on the one I love and I know this is bad but I just cannot control my thoughts no matter how hard I try. The list could go on and on of reasons why I think I have bipolar disorder..
ex: extremely high sex drive..jealousy..mood swings..
I hide it very well by pretending to be happy..working and spending time with friends but I am feeling more and more trapped with this.
Can anyone who has this disorder tell me of their experience or give me some advice.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. 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...
one of the biggest concerns is the FEAR.
I mean i am TERRIFIED of EVERYTHING.
darkness, being alone, driving, not being able to hear people, elctricity, fires. its so bad that I cannot sleep at night because I am scared someone will come in my apartment or a fire will start or the elctricity could go out and i'll be stuck in the dark. not only that but I have CHILDLIKE fears..like monsters..dont laugh its serious.
