I'm just now realizing it's not normal for me to be massively depressed for months at a time and constantly feel like I want to be dead. I've been reading a lot about mental illness recently because I have anxiety and social anxiety and I've always been paranoid of developing schizophrenia. I started reading about bipolar disorder and it sounds a lot like me. I will go months being massively depressed like I said and sometimes be unexplainably happy. When I'm with friends I get very hyper and talkative and my body uncontrollably twitches and stuff. When I'm not with friends I hardly ever talk, but my eyes still twitch a lot and I feel like I have to blink really hard and move my eyebrows all over the place to feel better. When I'm depressed I don't really care about anything and I just go with the flow a lot but when I'm happy and hyper I get really really mad really easily. I like playing music but when I get depressed like that it's near impossible for me to write songs and I can only really write good music when I'm in a happy phase or with friends playing together. Does this sound like bipolar or is this a fairly normal thing or what? My dad has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder but he says he doesn't think I am and there's no reason to waste money on a doctor

You are not a waste and neither is your health. If you're concerned and it's affecting your daily life (school, relationships, etc.) asking for help and talking about things with a doctor isn't a waste. Other people can't decide for you how to care for yourself, only you can choose what's best for you and your health.

Just remember, you matter and you are your own advocate. I don't know your age or exact situation anon. If you go to school, check out resources there. If there are other trusted people in your life you can talk with and share with, don't hesitate to do so. Asking for help shows strength and maturity.
