I (18f) have some difficult to cope with mood swings and emotions that I have previously thought was just anxiety and depression but I’m now a few years in to my relationship with my boyfriend and lots of things are suggesting I might be bipolar. I have insane mood swings and get extremely, for lack of a better word, triggered by lots of little things sometimes. It is becoming a real issue for my life and relationship but I don’t even know where to begin in getting help. How do I bring this up to a medical professional and begin to seek help? If anyone has any suggestions on how let myself or boyfriend express that I’m being like this without triggering more feelings and problems please suggest them, he thought a basically flashcard would have been a nice idea but we both know realistically that would just trigger more anger for me. I really need help, I don’t want to lose the love of my life and desperately want things to get better but I don’t even know where to begin. At this point I am open to any suggestions
