I never call myself the bipolar disorder girl but I can get drastic mood swings. I get happy at first,then sad, then mad, and back to normal.its like a cycle that've been repeating over and over again.
Is anyone here bipolar?

It's possible you might be suffering from some kind of mood disorder, but keep in mind that everyone can be moderately moody from time to time. I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, so if you're interested in comparing symptoms, you can send me a private message.
I hope you guys feel better.

I was diagnosed bipolar a year and a bit ago by the Canadian Mental Health Association. I'm on carbamazepine, sequel, Cipalex and Trifloperazine. After all the therapy, mediation.. etc I still feel the symptoms, I still get paranoia, mind you not nearly as bad but still and I don't get Hallucination or delusional thoughts so the CMHA has helped me tremendously but like I said I still feel the symptoms, it's probably going to be something I will have to deal with for the rest of my life.

Yeah, I am.
But as CosmicHippo says, having mood swings doesn't necessarily mean you're bipolar. I have to remind myself that feeling happy or sad doesn't mean in itself that I'm becoming unwell, and not to freak out about it.
"The work of psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison and others has shown that writers are ten times more likely to be bipolar than the rest of the population, and poets are a remarkable forty times more likely."

I had a friend in highschool who was bipolar and schizophrenic -- not medicated for either.
She was difficult to deal with most of the time and would be enraged if you suggested she try medication for her mental state; as she thought there was nothing wrong with her.
...nice girl, though.
Never a dull moment.

I am. I get in a severely depressed state for weeks, and then manic for days.
