Who should you go to regarding Bi-Polar Disorder + Question about not having ALL Manic Symptoms.?

I've read up on all the symptons of Bi-Polar disorder, done research on it, checked around here for help and also done quizzes that have all said I may very well be Bi-Polar.

I do think I suffer from Depression slightly more than Mania and I don't think I have ALL the symptons of Mania, but I do have some of them. Does this change anything?

I asked someone on here and they said this could be the start of Bipolar disorder and I guess that makes sense, I am young and maybe I'm yet to experience a full on mania episode yet, because I've been in the depression department for about a year or so now.

I always hear it's good to tell someone and get it sorted as fast as you can, because it can be dangerous and I have had server thoughts of suicide which is why I go to a counsellor.

I can't decide what to do or who to tell.

I'm 14 and I don't speak to much people.
Everyone online recommends a doctor, I can't go to the doctors alone sadly or a therapist.

Should I tell my mum? I'm so afraid that if she takes me and it turns out I'm not BiPolar, she'll be annoyed and I'll be embarressed for wasting her time!

I'm slightly more closer to my nan and aunt, if I told them to tell my mum for me would that be better? I just don't know how to start this conversation off 'Hey I think I'm Bipolar' they would probably laugh.

Or should I wait to go back to school to tell my teacher and ask if they could set me up with a therapist or something? I go to a counsellor and everytime I mention BiPolar Disorder to him he just says 'I don't think you are' and then goes onto something else so I don't think I can tell him again even though he'd probably be the easiest and less hard/embarressing to tell.

I just don't know what to do or who to tell incase I'm wrong and I've wasted people's time, but I have been doing research and have matched symptons to myself and EVERY one of those quizes have told me I probably am Bi-Polar, I don't know

Don't worry about your mom being bothered.
She'll get over it!
Go to a psychologist.
He can evaluate ,diagnose and treat you.
you can talk about anything with him.
If it turns out not to be bipolar then you can talk about your depression and feelings.Growing up is very hard and we all need some kind of help.
Just tell your aunt and nan that you aren't feeling well and need some help.
You don't have to use the word bipolar(it might be better if you don't) .
If you've been depressed for a year then it's time to go and get some help.
I know it's hard to make a decision but just go to a psychologist for your depression and see what you can do for that. try it a couple times and see if it seems to be working.
Ask around and find one that people like
.It won't work unless you can trust the psychologist and make an alliance with him,so find one you really like.

Hello, you should go to a Psychiatrist. only a Psychiatrist can test you and determine correctly if you have Bipolar Disorder (or any other problem). If you have it, they will want to put you on medication. I recommend that you also get talk therapy weekly, to work through your problems and to help you to have a more successful life. I think that it is terrible that you have a counselor / therapist who blows you off. If you have tested on the many sites with questionnaires and come up Bipolar, then chances are you are. I don't wish this diagnosis on anyone, but if you do have it, you must treat it medically and emotionally for the rest of your life. not being diagnosed as early as possible is a very unfortunate and life altering experience. Tell your mom that you must go asap to a Psychiatrist! Good luck!

Well you can have the "Hypomanic bipolar" hypomanic means that it isn't the full-blown mania but some kind of "little" mania. and of course you should definitly tell your mom, if you wanna kill yourself during your depressive episodes you could just say to your mom that you wanna kill yourself sometimes and that you're starting to get worried and want to see a psychiatrist.
