Depressed or Anxiety Panic

[natalia1397]

Okay, my head has been hurting so much! I have been sort of bipolar but mostly angry and annoyed and sad. I have been wanting to cry.
(My stomach hurts but I think its the tea)
I feel tired and mixed emotions like wanting to cry out of nowhere when I remember something sad that I have never cried over before.
Most importantly I have been feeling really scared! I began to hear so many noises from outside (we have this automatic light outside the house where if something or  someone passes the light automatically turns on and its been turning on a lot but we also have many stray cats around where I live so I convince myself that its just the cats). Any little thing began to scare me and I was never a scary cat- NEVER! Normally when I woke up from a nightmare I just woke up and went back to sleep but I had a dream that there was an earthquake but it was my moms car that made a jump and I woke up sweating and trying to find something to hold on to because I thought there was an earthquake. It was so scary that after 15 minutes later I was still scared and completely lost my appetite.
What is it? Should I be worried? Is it just me?
I have been stressed but not overly stressed.

It sounds to me like you might have some anxiety going on, and maybe some other thins, too.  You should see a psychiatrist, to be sure. - Blu

Have you actually been diagnosed with bi-polar? I can only give you my opinion from what you've written, and because I'm not a Dr. To me, it sounds like depression and anxiety. Even though you have'nt been overly stressed you have been stressed. That cause cause anxiety. It can also cause depression.
Are you in therapy and or taking meds? If not, I would highly recommend therapy to help with your anxiety and possible depression.
