Do I Have Bipolar Disorder?
I've been feeling extreme anger at the slightest of issues which leads me to a hyperactive state. I end up crying so much, regretting over everything in life and even suicidal. After sleeping , the next day i might feel down for a while but not for long, sometimes im right back to being happy like nothing every happened. I become more happy than for a person who was suicidal a night before.
This has been happening for months on and off. I overthink over everything and cry so much. These days i also find myself dissociating, looking at myself from a 3rd person perspective,I see myself from that perspective, my face, my expression, my emotion. (this happens especially at serious times). this behaviour forces me to smile when in that situation i definitely shouldn't be doing that.
I dont know what I'm going through, if this is normal, can somebody help diagnose me for further treatment.

Reading what you’ve shared, it sounds like you’ve been going through an incredibly distressing time. The intense mood shifts, overwhelming anger, episodes of crying, suicidal thoughts, and feeling detached from yourself (like watching yourself from outside) are all important symptoms that deserve a proper psychiatric assessment. While bipolar disorder is one possibility, these symptoms can also occur in several other conditions, including severe depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma-related disorders, or personality disorders. A diagnosis can’t be made from a single post, but I would strongly encourage you to consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible so you can be evaluated thoroughly and receive the right treatment. Most importantly, because you’ve mentioned feeling suicidal, please don’t face this alone…tell someone you trust today and seek immediate help if those thoughts become strong or you feel you might act on them. You don’t have to keep suffering like this, and with the right treatment, people do get better.

Hi, thanks for reaching out.
What you’re describing intense anger, rapid shifts in mood, crying, suicidal thoughts, overthinking, and feeling detached from yourself—is not something to ignore. It isn’t possible to diagnose you from a message, but these symptoms deserve a comprehensive assessment by a mental health professional as soon as possible.
One suggestion: Keep a daily mood journal (triggers, emotions, sleep, and intensity). It can help identify patterns and guide treatment.
If you’re having suicidal thoughts that feel difficult to control or you think you might act on them, please tell a trusted family member or friend today and seek immediate help from your nearest emergency service or mental health crisis service. Don’t stay alone with these thoughts.

I'm sorry you're going through this. The combination of intense mood swings, anger, crying spells, suicidal thoughts, and episodes of feeling detached from yourself suggests that you're experiencing significant emotional distress and need a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation rather than a diagnosis based on symptoms alone.
Conditions such as depression, bipolar spectrum disorders, borderline personality traits, anxiety-related disorders, or dissociative symptoms can sometimes present this way, and effective treatment is available once the correct diagnosis is made.
Next Steps
Please consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible, and if you're having active suicidal thoughts or feel you may act on them, go to the nearest emergency department or contact a trusted family member immediately.
Health Tips
Avoid staying alone during severe emotional episodes, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and remember that seeking professional help early can make a significant difference in recovery.
