Answer 1

actually, a bipolar disorder can be: 1st, you are excessively manic or you move around a lot and you tend to be hyperactive. or 2nd, you are hypoactive or you don't want to do any activities at all, or sometimes, yeah, you could get mad easily or be overly happy, or sometimes, it could be just hormones, no offense, but how old are you already?or maybe having your monthly period. but it's good that you're aware of your behavior, i think it just shows that you can manage yourself by merely opening up, even just here in yahoo answers. anyway, if your son has bipolar disorder, then it might mean that it was transferred genetically, trace your family history, since you might be predisposed to having that disorder, at least you can manage yourself earlier.
