hi and welcome to the board. There are many things that can look like bipolar and at 14 diagnosis can be complicated - but it's something you need to talk about with your parents/ guardians so that you can get a proper diagnosis.

Big hug for you Morg...... I am so sorry for your losses..... I get shutting down and feeling nothing when you've lost people that you love.

I agree with fish that you should discuss this with your family and ask to see your family doctor.... Your family doctor can refer you to a psychiatrist...... Gentle hug and a blessing......xo

You're 14? Ask your parents to schedule an appointment with a therapist. That's a good start. They may refer you to a psychiatrist who will be able to give a diagnosis. Good luck

Hi Morg...sorry you are feeling so badly...I didn't read where you said you were 14...but if you are under 18, ask your parents to see a psychiatrist...they are the only one's who can give you a dx one way or the other. In the mean time...if you are in school and don't see a therapist outside of school you might try to see if your school has a psychologist...just so you can vent in a safe place. Your symptoms, and bp symptoms have many variables so it's best to get it checked out by a doctor....best of luck! hugs

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
