Bi Polar and mood swings are often..
Hi, My mood swings are very often. These days I easily get offended and starts crying. I am not able to take any decision. I think a lot, sometimes, too much that never could happen. And also, I am gay and pretending as straight in front of everyone is a big headache for me. I am not able to take any decision. How should I start medication?

I understand how difficult your situation is . There are 2 different issues that need to be addressed. One is the mood swings, indecision etc. From what you have described it seems to be indicative of depressive symptoms. For that the best way to start medication would be to visit a psychiatrist and get fully evaluated including investigations to rule out any other physical issue that may be causing the symptoms. I would also recommend visiting a therapist / counsellor who can help you cope better through certain behavioural techniques. I understand that acknowledging your sexual orientation is causing a lot of distress and a therapist will be able to discuss with you ways and methods of dealing with this stress .
Next Steps
Ideally work with both a psychiatrist and a therapist

I think you need a professional support to understand and accept your status. All those behaviors you had mentioned is due to that fake living style...
Next Steps
I suggest you to consult a psychologist in your city personally.

I am able to understand what u must b going through. Putting up with the societal stigma of   preferring a male partner can be exhausting. If  this leads to depression or anxiety it needs to be treated. Many of the symptoms which u have mentioned are seen in people with depression and anxiety. Depression makes a person sensitive, emotional and irritable to things which they were able to tolerate before. V would need to know few more details like ur sleep, hunger, energy levels, interest etc to give appropriate suggestions. Ur problems can easily be treated with counselling and if needed medications. I will be able to prescribe medications to u if needed after assessment. Don't let ur problems affect ur personal or family life. Dont worry, u will b fine. U need a psychiatrist evaluation. I would be more than happy to consult u online through the Practo chat option. Best wishes for speedy recovery!!
