No one on here is a doctor, its mostly immature teenagers(mostly, not all)

Like skinny said, go to a doctor. We can't help you.
As for your mom, she needs to know.

I'm not trying to diagnose myself. I was asking how to bring it up with my mom, but also telling what's going on, in case someone on here might know something about it.

Mental Health Disorders?

Oct 19, 2009 8:42 PM
I think I may be suffering from one, more specifically, Cyclothymia (mild form of Bi-Polar). The trouble is, I don't know if I actually have it, or if I'm just extremely emotional; I don't trust myself enough to decide. And I don't know how to bring it up with my mom. Even if I don't have some disorder, something's not right in my head.
The last time I brought it up to her, she just told me I was overreacting and needed to learn to calm down, but idk if that's the case. My 'episodes' are becoming more frequent, and there's not a specific trigger. It's not like I'm getting upset cause I'm not getting my way or something. It's just random things, and I usually get so upset that I cry, then feel depressed for an hour- a couple of days. then I return to my normal self.

Any advice on how to talk about it with someone, or just words from people who have mental disorders would be much appreciated
