I was reading up on personality disorders, you know, as you do on a Tuesday night. For 2 reasons, 1 my friend probably has bpd and 2, pure curiosity.
But over time, people have always commented that I can be "really bipolar" and that in of it self means literally nothing, but i was doing a lot of research on it and reading bc I can.

I've had depressive episodes, and I've experienced possible hypomania, most symptoms of Bipolar 2. I've never had visual hallucinations, but I've had small auditory ones (like extra foot steps, very small things) and even olfactory ones (smelling things that aren't there) All during either depression or emotional highs.

Faint shadows and shit, which i know is my brain playing tricks on me, but i feel like i should mention it bc they happen quite a bit

I've suspected that there's something serious going on for some time now, and I'm not trying to sound all pretentious and like "Oh look at me im bipolar" like i genuinely am confused. I know I'm a teenager (I'm 16 btw) and teens have all kinds of emotions, so this could just go away, and if it does, so be it, but i am seriously wondering if this might not be the case.

So, anyone who has bipolar disorder, 1 or 2 or knows someone who does, literally do you have anything? Or anybody who has any kind of advice 

So yeah, I'm very confused : ))
