Question by pixie_vixen117: Could I be bipolar? Lately, I have been conderned about my mental health. I have suffered from depression in the past, but lately it is weird. I have days when I love life, and things seem wonderful, nothing bugs me, even things that would normally bug me. Then later in the month, it is the exact opposite. I had a week or so a little bit ago where I was severely depressed, and could not explain it. Just the other day, something that previously did not bug me, sent me into a crying fit where I just fell on the floor and sobbed, and could not explain it. Now I am extremely happy again. What is up with me? Is this normal? I have no health insurance and hate taking meds, because I am overly sensitive to the side effects usually, and cannot afford to see a doctor really. Not only what I listed above, but I also have smaller symptoms too, such as some days, I could sleep forever and not wake up, and am always tired. I cannot focus sometimes, I have racing thoughts ...
