Not sure if i have bipolar?

I don't have the money for a professional diagnosis, but i don't want to self diagnose either. However, i've been noticing lately that i have some symptoms. For example, i may have had some episodes of mania in the past, and i have definitely had some depressive episodes. I don't know if this means that i have bipolar disorder or if i am just moody. It's kind of scaring me to not know, and i was hoping to get some input from some people who have been professionally diagnosed. I can give any more information necessary for you to help me.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, thatquietgirl is right. In as much as we would like to help you. We do not possess the qualification to do so. It might only do you more harm than good.
I hope you can find a way to get properly diagnosed.

Unfortunately, no one here is equipped to diagnose you.  You can try a county mental health clinic if one is available and see what fees will be like for your income bracket.  If you truly have bipolar disorder, you'll need treatment earlier rather than later.  I do see you are 14.  At this time, you do have a lot going on with you hormonally that can really mess with your moods, but that does not rule out the possibility of bipolar disorder.
