Hi, I found this forum just tonight by chance and I was hoping that I could ask peoples opinions on this.
Since I was about 13 I used to self harm on my upper arms, the main reason I did it at first was that I used to get really frantic and over emotional and pretty hysterical, I'd reach a point of feeling like I wanted to really hurt myself but would self-harm instead. After I did it I would usually snap out of it about a half hour later. Sometimes I would go outside and run or if I were alone just become restless and exhilerated, throws things, shout, etc, etc.
I always had highs and lows which have been fairly extreme, throughout my life.
I had real problems with depression about a year ago, and basically didn't answer my phone or bother eating food or even finding a place to sleep. When I managed to get my will up I went to the doctor but they basically shrugged it off, but the practise I went to never listened to people so.
I still get highs and lows, but I managed to get out of that particular rutt.
But very recently I have been getting mood swings. They go rapidly from excited and energetic very optimistic, to extremely angry, frustrated and upset. But shorter periods of time than what I've always had. I've never had such severe issues with anger before.
I've never been entirely sure if I'm Bipolar or if it's something else, I was wondering if anyone could relate or offer some insight.
Thanks.
