bi polar
I've been known lose my temper easily, usually with me ending up slapping someone in the face. Usually it only happens once a week where I'll just get really angry over something stupid that wouldn’t have mattered the day before. I take my anger out on guys usually (I'm a girl) I'm wondering if I have bi polar (sp?) since I can be totally fine one second and out of control the nest. My mom thinks I need a consular since she thinks I'm "Angry all the time" and "Depressed" but I’m not sure what to think. Any ideas? Btw, I’m 14

I wouldn't have thought you were bi-polar, as the symptoms differ from those described by you. People suffering from the condition tend to become almost hysterically happy one minute and suicidal the next.
However, at 14 years old, you're going to be having a lot of hormones rushing around your system, edging you to grow up and unfortunately, these hormonal changes may be what is causing your bad temper. It is very common but you need to find better ways to take out your frustration than on other people's faces!
It might be a good idea to see a counsellor, to see if they can suggest alternative means of dealing with your emotions. They also might help you get to the root of why you're feeling like this.

My guess is that it's hormone levels. Not to such an extreme where you need to do anything about it though. It's very normal for someone your age to go through this. Unless it's seriously disrupting your life I wouldn't worry about it too much. If your mom wants you to see a counselor you might as well. I don't think anything will come of it though so again, try not to worry. At 14 your body is going through a lot of changes and hormone levels are all over the place. That can cause your moood swings and give you the PMSlike symptoms that you described. I hope I helped and good luck!

This sounds exactly like me. I can be happy as can be one minute and then angry the next. You can seek anger management. I hear thats pretty good and its a way to get your anger out healthy. It doesn't sound like bi-polar. Maybe u have major mood swings it could be possibly. Hope i helped

It doesn't sound like the bi polar disorder. It just sounds like you have anger issues that you need to work out. I think you should seek the professional help, and leave the diagnosis to them.

It really does not sound like you are bipoalar. It sounds like you may have possible anger issues, or just other pychological things you need to sort through. So you should deffinately seek proffesional help. But really it does not sound like you are bipolar.

Don't get too involved in self-diagnosis, it's best to see the counselor and take their advice. Nearly no one here is a doctor or counselor, and if they are, they probably know better then to try and diagnosis just from your question.
But my advice is not to get too hung up on labeling what is wrong with you, what is far more important is what you need to do to fix it. Getting so angry you hit someone is a problem and will certainly make your life way harder than it needs to be. So don't dwell on what's wrong, just do your best to change it. A counselor could be a great help with that.

What you've described doesn't sound like bipolar to me, but I'm not a mental health professional.
And neither is anyone else here. It DOES sound like you have a problem with control, though, and you're clearly unhappy, so your mother is right. You (or she) should talk to your doctor about getting a referral for a professional evaluation. No matter what the results are, it should be very helpful to you.
You're young. Believe me, this is the time to deal with whatever issue(s) you might have. Otherwise, you might find yourself at 50 wondering how you screwed up your whole life!
