...my activity level.

I am not say I am bipolar, but it's hard for my family to understand my moods. Let alone it's hard for me to understand my moods. I can be very active one week and than fall into a deep depression dark hole, that I am not dragging out.

I been dealing with a lot of suicidal ideation alone. Been dealing with a lot of depression. And it seemed to pass. But I think it honestly has to do with my activity level.

If I am overstimulated, anxious, and am socially exhausted I am more depressed. When I have had time to decompress and time to let it all out, be creative and have good things happen I am less depressed. I am still depressed. I still want to die half the time.

But my family keeps telling me to get a diagnosis in Bipolar. I am not really convinced. Can someone help me understand, is the mood shifting thing also an Autistic thing?
