Am I Suffering From Bipolar Disorder ?
I am 21 and have started developing weird behavior that I think may be symptoms of bipolar disorder. My moods go up and down. I go through patterns of over eating and being very lethargic and then waking up one day with bursts of energy. I find myself often feeling suicidal. This all started after my best friend was killed in a car accident, I am not sure if this is related? I don t really want to tell anyone how I am feeling but my close family have started to notice a change in my behavior as I am often irritable around them.
