Bipolar Depression

sometimes they can last days weeks months even… I just got over one that lasted about four weeks. I think that’s the longest I’ve ever been sad. I think it’s getting worse. but I’m happy again. but soon enough I’ll be sad again. I find it easy to feel better by talking to someone, so if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here. I know how you feel.

I have it. here.

Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that causes episodes of depression (sadness and hopelessness) and episodes of mania (severely elevated mood). This disorder affects how a person feels and acts. No one knows exactly what causes bipolar disorder. Doctors and researchers believe that it may be caused by chemicals imbalances in the brain.1

People with bipolar disorder will have times when their mood is “normal” and balanced or close to that. But they will also have times when their mood changes are extreme for a period of time. These are called bipolar disorder “mood episodes.”2

I feel the same way sometimes. it got really bad on monday. and I do think you should tell someone. it may make things better. You may also think you like the sadness but that’s another sympton of bipolar depression. I have that, so I never told anyone about it and I still won’t but it could get very dangerous and now I’m afraid to tell someone. Don’t let it get to you like it did me, tell someone before it gets bad.

Okay, whatever you do, don;t sit there and self diagnose- you could be completely wrong.

It’s a known fact that plenty of teenagers go through bouts of depression, and that’s normal. With all the hormones rushing around, different bits of your brain firing than previously, it happens. However, if you think something is up, go to a proper diagnostician and get assessed.

thanks I’ve just been getting really depressed for silly reasons and I feel like just going away and dieing

how long are these depressed moods(like last ussually). and can teens have it
