>>1 that sounds like manic depression not bipolar, it's when you have extreme highs and lows. You are not stupid for asking. My advice to you is to find yourself a hobby to take your mind off of the things that are making you feel worse. Focus on the aspects of your life that make you feel better. If it gets worse or you're having a really down day, maybe try talking to your friends and family, they're there to support you. You can always come here, the Dollars are here for you ^^
