It's kinda hard to tell from this short description. Perhaps you could give us a little more info about your situation?

Bad things happen to people, mood swings are very common. Just because you are feeling down or depressed doesn't mean you are bipolar necessarily. These are very common feelings to have. Now on the other hand, if it is extreme, if you are feeling suicidal, or anything like that... that's a different thing.

Great post. Exactly what I was going to ask and say.

See a psychiatrist for a diagnosis. Check your family history too, for bipolar and depression in particular. Symptoms that are "bipolar" can mean lots of things. Take it from one who is bipolar - don't self diagnose and talk to a psychiatrist about your feelings/thoughts and your family's mental health history.

(Great answer Kalyandra!)

Yeah, it definitely is hard to say what is going on. Kalyandra has some great ideas. Please see a doctor or psychiatrist as soon as possible.

Best,

Clyde
