Hi dear,
Thank you for your query.
what ever you describe about your self is suggestive of depressive disorder but without proper history and mental status examination it is difficult to diagnose.
As your mother is suffering from bipolar disorder so it might be possible to have hereditary psychiatric problem.
so need to evaluation is necessary.
Consult psychiatrist for it.
Thank you
