writes:[Moderator's Note: 2 questions from the same poster have been merged into this one post]Lately I've been feeling an intense sense of emptiness, or not reacting to anything happening (e.i boyfriend breaking up with me.).It all started back around October when I started gradually falling into a major depression caused by lots of things going on in my life. by early December I was felt hopeless. I would cry all the time, I was failing 7th grade, I was wearing black all the time. by the time I made it to January I was lightening up a little bit, and a little further on I made science class and school a first priority, and taking on my other responsibilities too. I cleaned my room, started normally talking to my friends again, and entirely getting my life back on track.And then starting about two weeks ago, total emptiness hit me. I feel nothing whatsoever. when my boyfriend broke up with me I didn't feel hurt or sad at all (I liked him a LOT) and earlier today I had a fight with my mom and I said 'I don't give a damn about you or anyone else!' then later realizing I meant it...when my family cares a lot about me, I know that, it just doesn't mean anything to me. And usually later I would be really mad at myself and feel guilty for saying something like that to them, but I didn't.i told my mom a little bit about this...she says it's clinical depression. but I did some web-surfing and it doesn't sound like me. She also told me that it's also different for teens that have ADHD. Do any of you know anything that I might have? If you just give me a name that would be great, because I could research it. thanks!(question 2) To make things worse, I have been REALLY confused about what I am (Straight, BI, Gay) I HIGHLY doubt I'm lesbian because I have an attraction to boys. I have never had an attraction or urge to an actual girl before but Female 'parts' make me feel the same way as boys. What is it?

reader, anonymous, writes (19 February 2010): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionRecently I've been researching BiPolar Disorder because mu best friend is BiPolar, and I'm doing a research project for school. And I was wondering, could I be BiPolar? It said during Manic phases that Sex-Drive increases (which was happening around a month ago, then I crashed into the emptiness and it ended) And same goes with substance use (alcohol)...Now both of those are gone...Could I be in a depressive phase now?

WOW Great questions!
Answer to question #1
Only a doctor can diagnose you, and only a doctor can help you. I highly suggest seeing a doctor just remember everyone experiences depression at somepoint in their life and it is nothing to be embarrassed about. Sometimes we all need a doctors help, whether it be medicine or therapy sessions.
Answer to question #2
You are at an age when you are curious about everything you see and that is normal! Follow your instincts do whatever feels natural. I have had experiences with other woman and I am not gay or bi, its just interest. At your age it is normal! You are young so i suggest holding off on any sexual experiences. Don't worry too much about male or female parts, focus on personality love and connections!
If you need someone to talk to I am here :)
