Help! I Am Struggling With Extreme Moods
TeenHealthFX is glad you took the time to ask your question. Unfortunately, we cannot diagnose over the internet. Depression and Bipolar Disorder can be very complex, and each person can have different symptoms. It is also important to mention how mature it is that you already expressed your concerns to your parents and boyfriend.
There are a few options for you to seek help in your current situation. If you are still in high school, it would be a good idea to reach out to the student assistance specialist, school counselor, or school nurse to talk about your concerns. If you are no longer in school, you can seek help from a mental or medical professional to get checked out and address your concerns.

Outside of this area, a valuable resource is the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) which is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
