I know, you all must get this a lot, but i'm begining to think that I am bipolar and like to hear what other people were like, feeling when they first thought they were bipolar.
I'll feel very unexpectedly happy, almost surreal at times, jumpy and giddy. I won't feel like sleeping (which I love). I'll just be bouncing off the walls, and just a like a year ago, I would never have been like that.
Then i'll feel very, very depressed, and i've gone in and out of little bits of depression for the last few years, and have become rather used to it.
I'll vary between these two sometimes landing in between (not very offten), and I can go back and forth a few times daily, where as most infomation i've read has said much longer periods of time for the phases.
Also, I have quite a bit of a caffeine habit, offten i'll consume large amounts of caffeine when i'm depressed and feeling very slow-ish. I'll sit there and drink double espresso's, a few energy drinks, maybe a caffeine pill or something similar-all inside of maybe 8 hours (at night).
