Hi @proactive1
Actually you're right. I had it all wrong. I just took a few tests online and the results were that I might be bipolar but that's not the case. I'm just a very sensible person and my feelings can affect me a lot. As you say I just need to get away from strong emotions and I will be fine. I easily get depressed but I'm not bipolar. And to all these people who are questioning themselves, don't just stay at home and try to figure out things on your own. Try to find help and answers as I did. They are people willing to help with open arms. And a professional opinion is always better than assumptions. So talk about your problem with people who can help you and don't be afraid because you are not alone. No matter if you're bipolar or just depress or dealing with any kind of struggle, know that they will always be someone to lend a helping hand. You just need to ask and accept help from others. Admitting you have a problem is a huge step to solving it someone told me.
I thank all the people who helped me get out of those cloudy days. Thank you @gingerw for advising me to get professional help.

Great! U will always have good days and bad ones the bad planted are so you can continue to grow in life and learn…

@moustaphagueye As you said, there will always be cloudy days [I like that phrase, by the way!], and sunny days, also! A long time ago there was a saying that you cannot see the value of sunny days without the cloudy days that come along. I do not think it is right to label ourselves as one thing, and expect to stay the same, because we are human and we vary in our moods and outlooks. One day we have no reaction to something, but that same action on another day may make us sad, or tearful, based on what is happening around it. What we learn to do, is to be gentle on ourselves, forgive ourselves, and understand that it is okay to be who we are on a given day. Be brave to address what is bothering you, and seek help. It can be so rewarding.
