if you are bi-polar, it's easy to treat usually. so don't be scared, just go to your family doctor and tell him you think you might be bi-polar. He'll send you to a psychiatrist for a consultation. If he diagnoses you are bi-polar you'll be put on meds, lithium most likely. It will work.
bi-polar is cut and dry, it is a real illness, that's why it responds so well to lithium.
good luck
