Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.
I hope that you have stopped cutting yourself. If not, please contact your doctor and request a referral to a psychologist, therapist or psychiatrist. Cutting yourself is not an answer. You need to receive some help for this.
It is not uncommon for someone to be diagnosed with both ADHD and bipolar disorder and frequently, symptoms of bipolar and depression are not recognized until the teen years.
I hope that you are still receiving treatment. You should have a psychiatrist that is familiar with treating individuals with more than one disorder.This would be the first step.
For further information:
Please let me know how you are doing.
