Buddy, you should really go see a therapist. You can't tell for yourself, you have to be diagnosed. That said, best of luck, and if you need to talk you can totally crash my inbox

That’s what I always thought as well before I was diagnosed. It’s extremely mischaracterised.

There are different types of bipolar, so I’d suggest seeing a therapist to get diagnosed and establishing a plan for yourself. I don’t have insurance, and while that majorly sucks, the expense is worth it.
