Hi Rahel

This is the exact problem with accessing information on net or from people who do not have specialist qualifications to make such a diagnosis. Can you take a chill pill, pls ?

You have been through a lot in your childhood (if the story that you have shared is correct) and you probably have heaps of unresolved emotional issues from them. I doubt you were counselled then and your current state is probably a reflection of that. This doesnt give you a reason to have Bipolar disorder.

If you want to know whether you have a “psychiatric” disorder then you should seek medical or pyschiatrist advice. You should not look up on net or google things. This way you get the right advice from the right people and your mind doesnt go on a goose chase because someone gave you a list of symptoms, which may or may not match your online story.

STOP JUDGING YOURSELF SO HARD and coming up with unnecessary labels. Get on with your journey step by step, my friend. You need to move forward.
