I have bipolar. It used to be known as manic depression. My mood swings are quite elevated at times.
Hi, i am sorry to hear that, can you tell me a little about how it works?
Well mood swings are one of the biggest indicators of bipolarism. The changes in a mood can become disruptive and sudden.
Anxiety runs in my family, is this the same as bipolar?
Anxiety is not always an indication for someone being bipolar. Anxiety can come from many things. Do you have anxiety? 
Yes, you are right it does and come, at time people look at me strange.
Do you suffer from a social anxiety order? Maybe you're nervous about other people scrutinizing you?
Yes i am, enough about me, are you seeking professional help?
I have already had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and I currently take medication for it.
Is this medication seem to be helping?
