I was a very active person since school days. From past 2 years I have noticed my mood swings have varied alot. sometime I will be very active and sometime don't even want to move. In past couple of months, life has been tough on me. Too many Downfalls in life at once. And now my this mood has gone dark. I try to stay happy but I end up being inactive. Cry for no reason. Then suddenly for few hrs I go active again and happy. Then back to darkness. I just want to stay alone. Avoid talking. Am I suffering from depression? And if yes, is it bipolar? I am confused. Pls help.
