Answer 1

Getting mad easily can be a symptom of bipolar disorder, but odds are you're just overly involved in your gaming, espeically if that's the main or only thing you've noticed. When you start getting upset while you're playing get up and go do something else for a while. Maybe that will keep your controllers intact a while longer.

Answer 2

Hi, nobody on this site can you that you are bipolar. Only a qualified professional can tell you this and usually this takes time to diagnose.
Anyways, in my opinion you don't have it. Losing your temper doesn't mean that you are bipolar.

Here are the signs and symptoms of bipolar. Keep in mind there are two types of bipolar. One is more intense than the other.

Signs and symptoms
Bipolar disorder is characterized by an alternating pattern of emotional highs (mania) and lows (depression). The intensity of the associated signs and symptoms varies. Bipolar disorder can range from a mild condition to a severe condition, and there may be periods of normal behavior.

Manic phase
For many people, signs and symptoms in the manic phase may include:

Feelings of euphoria, extreme optimism and inflated self-esteem
Rapid speech, racing thoughts, agitation and increased physical activity
Poor judgment
Recklessness or taking chances not normally taken
Difficulty sleeping
Tendency to be easily distracted
Inability to concentrate
Aggressive behavior
Depressive phase
In the depressive phase, signs and symptoms include:

Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, guilt or hopelessness
Disturbances in sleep and appetite
Fatigue and loss of interest in daily activities
Problems concentrating
Irritability
Chronic pain without a known cause
Recurring thoughts of suicide

When you go to a doctor then:
Screening and diagnosis
Your doctor may ask you or a family member who has accompanied you about your signs and symptoms and to describe apparent episodes of mania and depression. Diagnosis also involves ruling out other mental health conditions that may produce some symptoms similar to bipolar disorder. These may include other mood disorders, sometimes schizophrenia, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or borderline personality disorder.

You may also undergo tests to see if your mood swings are due to physical causes, such as:

Substance abuse. Abuse of alcohol, marijuana and cocaine may affect your moods.
Thyroid disorders. A blood test for thyroid function can determine whether you have a thyroid disorder, such as an underactive thyroid.
Your doctor may also ask about your use of medications, alcohol and recreational drugs and about your diet. Certain medications including corticosteroids, such as prednisone, and medications used to treat depression, anxiety and Parkinson's disease can cause mood swings. Abuse of alcohol and recreational drugs also can cause mood swings. Deficiency of vitamin B-12 may alter moods as well.

Answer 3

You may have an anger management problem. If you are bipolar, you are in manic mode one day, when you feel as though you can do anything, and have huge amounts of energy, or want to talk a lot, then later you are depressed, with no energy, and withdrawn, not wanting to do the things you used to like. I have learnt to count backwards slowly, from 10 to 1, whenever I find myself in a situation where I might become angry, as it interrupts the process, so try it out. See http://www.my-counselling-site.com/anger (/anger-counselling.html) See a doctor if this doesn't help, after several weeks of really trying hard.
