Dear User,
I think you need to undergo a detailed psychiatric assessment from a qualified person before we reach a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. In my opinion don't be scared to discuss about your problems to your mum. Also tell her that you contacted health care magic mentioning this reference. I am pretty hopeful of you getting better if you undergo a proper psychiatric evaluation and treatment.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. let me be clear. From the given symptoms it seems that you are bi-polar affective. But you cannot diagnose properly with symptoms alone. Do not rely on online test results. Most of them are fake. Even during depression and mood swings disorders, these symptoms could show. Experienced psychiatrists use differential diagnosis method to have a proper diagnosis. Please consult a psychologist / psychiatrist for proper diagnosis.
Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
