What do you think is wrong with me?

[Tonymccurry]

I am 21 years old and for the last 3 months or so i have been experiencing up and down moods. I can be high and happy and hyper then be really low and depressed the next. When i am high i only need about 2-3 hours sleep a night and i don't miss it. My thoughts also race uncontrollably too and i feel so energised. I have been shopping excessively too lately but it makes me feel better at the time.When i am low i cut my arms and at times think of suicide.What do you think is wrong with me?

From the information you provide about you, you may have a condition called bipolar affective disorder but we would like to have more information e.g. duration of the symptoms and whether you have biological features of depression such as low energy, reduced interest in daily activities, poor appetite , early morning awakening etc...
