How can I tell if I am Bi-polar?
Sometimes I feel like I have the best life. Like I can do anything. I am the person who can look in the mirror and smile because I know I can do anything I put my mind to. Then come the days like today. Filled with watching old television shows and wishing I was someone else. I get fixated on these shows. I don't even know if this all makes sense but it is what happens to me. I have nothing to do during the day I feel completely helpless and am forced to look at my life from a completely different and depressing view. I worry that if I just keep busy all the time I'll be missing on what is really happening but I avoid.

See your doctor. You have to take a long questionnaire as there is no biological test that can be done.

You can't tell if you are bi-polar or not. No one on this site can. I mean you can look up symptoms but I mean the symptoms you have can be plenty of disorders as well as just being young with hormones. So you won't know unless you see a doctor who can actually diagnose you.
Because even if we say you are bi-polar, what are you going to do about it? You have to see a doctor either way.

Depressed perhaps but not likely bi-polar. I have that affliction so know the signs. First, are your moods going from normal to depressed, to elated and back in endless fashion?
Secondly, do you have any feelings of omnipotence, in charge of the world, are an important figure be it government etc or grandiose ideas or what others would think are delusions?
Do you hear voices that won't go away? Do you have thoughts as well as speech that is far too rapid and extremely noticeable? There are other signs but those are key with bipolar. Also a big symptom is extremely poor financial decisions, and promiscuity.
If you have a firm grasp on what reality is and what it isn't that's key as those with Bi-Polar Disorder II won't. There is to my knowledge another type of the disease that is all of the above symptoms minus the delusions.
