Before I start I'm a sixteen year old girl.
Well I have been depressed for a while. Sometimes it is better but sometimes the urge to end my life is overwhelming. I have seen many counselors, pyschologists, and mental health physicians but onthing seems to help. A lot of my friends think I'm bipolar. My counselor says I'm not but when I read about all the symptoms it makes sense. I have 10 of the fourteen symptoms that the website said. I have really good days where you can't put me down but then again I also have the excet opposite kind of days. My counselor said that if I start having more suicidal thoughts or if my appetite keeps dropping then I should get in touch with her. About three months ago my appetite basically disappeared. My friends thought I was trying to lose wieght but I just wasn't hungry. I never eat breakfast and so I constantly feel weak or sick. I'm just so confused about what I should do. Can anyone help me?

Bipolar Disorder is VERY difficult to diagnose in adolescents. Our moods naturally fluctuate. The suicidal thoughts and loss of appetite definitely sound like depression! You need to call your counselor, and he/she can talk to you about it.
