Do I have a problem? Or is it just stress?

Question

I turned 13 a month ago. Ive acted like this since i could remember since which is 4. I feel like different people. Sometimes I'll have these days where I lock myself in my room. I wont see or talk to anyone. I cry and cry. I hate myself. I feel like I am a very hated person. Other days Im outgoing, talkative, happy, hyper, but have continous mood swings. Then other times I am confused I dont know how feel Im like feeling so many diferent ways at once. Ill have outbreaks that can go on for hours I will cry and cry at the same time I am screaming my head off. I cant stay still even if I try. I dont know why but it comes out and I cant stop it. I throw things during this time. I feel misunderstood. I feel ontop of the world. Like I am stronger, have more power, and am smarter than any adult. I cant keep feelings in. I cant keep words they come out. Im super impulsive. I have ADHD, But could it be more? My mom makes it worst in an outbreak she just like when are you gonna grow up, she acts like im stupid, she doesnt care how I feel. Could this be more than ADHD. Oh I also cant ever stop thinking its a constant flow I feel like my heads going explode the racing thoughts never stop. For more info read my other questions please

i feel like the older I get the worse I am not the better. Ive talked to my mom about bipolar she said NO. Should I keep a journal each day write how I feel for a couple months then show my mom?
I know I already asked but I added more questions in this

First of all, I'm no expert--I took two psychology courses in grade 12 and that's it. So this is going to be more opinion and general knowledge than anything.

What you are describing does sound a lot like bipolar, but keep in mind, bipolar can be hard to diagnose as it has a different face for every person (so it could be something else.) But yes, generally speaking: the extreme mood swings, the invincible/empowered feelings, the bottomless depression... they all really sound like it.

I'm really sorry that your mother seems very non-supportive of you. I think the journal is a great idea; if making her face your day-to-day reality doesn't do anything, than I don't know what will. I have two friends with clinical depression and both have parents that are a lot like yours. I think the best thing you can do is talk to your school councilor or any other adult figure that you know and trust.

You are 13 and troubled.  You are far too precious to be asking for a diagnosis on YA (though there are always clowns willing to oblige)
You need to begin talking with someone mature who you trust and helps people with problems.  And you need to do this very soon.  You will probably need to talk to a doctor too who will know who is best to help you.  Don't try and solve this yourself, if you could you wouldn't have the problems. 
If there is a kid's health or help line ring it and tell them who you are and where you life. You do need help and the quicker you get it the better it will be for you,

To tell you the truth you are bipolar also and it sounds like a very strong case i am bipolar too but on the lower level my mom and my brother i think your journal idea is good or try talking to a school councilor they're always good to tell the parents what They think is wrong and if they see something really wrong they'll make the parents do something

Journaling is very good! I do believe you could be bi polar. I would def see a doctor. Get yourself on a good exersize routine with a good diet and you will feel a lot better!
