Is anybody bipolar here? I have always wondered If I have just

have you been diagnosed by a professional

>>24697492
yes, I got the major depression badge

but due to having much better periods/days sometimes for no big reason I wonder if I shouldnt look for re-diagnosis

Mania isn't "better" it's mania.

I have bipolar 2. It's not "able to flirt with girls" It's "went out to the bar had waaay too much to drink talked to ALL THE PEOPLE and made several impulsive decisions that are going to negatively effect you."

My mania generally manifests as irritability instead of an elevated mood. For 3 days to a week or so i'm restless, barely sleep, seeking out sexual situations I wouldn't normally"
If you're bipolar you're a little bit crazy not just depressed with good days.

Yeah, maybe you are right. I dont have problems with keeping myself in control.

Kind of jelly, imagine what could you do if you started working during manic. Is it great?

>>24697531
My mania is all over the place. I can go from hyper stressed jumping up and down, going for really long jogs to this hyperactive glee where I am doing the same thing but because I am happy.

This happens with other emotions, but I am constantly swinging from intensely feeling one emotion to the next without any rhyme or reason.

I don't understand what you mean? I can't choose where my energy gets focused. That's why I don't have any clean dishes but I knitted two hats today.
It's never great it sucks.

To be honest I cant quite grasp the concept of not being able to focus your energy.
Maybe its because mine is so low I need to masterfully manage it.

Can you describe how it is like? You arent aware you are knitting useless hats and could be reading a book, or something? Or are you just forced to do anything and you cant stop the first thing you start?

It's more like, i know i need to do the dishes but instead of doing the dishes I will sit on the couch for 5 hours on my computer not even getting up to eat or pee. But if I say "okay, fuck the dishes, i wanna make hats" I can make the hats. And while I'm sitting on the couch doing nothing i get more and more restless and ornery because i have all this energy it's just not for the shit I need to do. If I try to do dishes it makes me almost angry. I have to stop and calm down. I'll start multiple projects and not finish any of them.

Mine is usually very low, but I'm not able to manage it. I'm accidentally anorexic, haven't vaccumed my apartment since I moved in in october, I do usually manage to shower regularly though.

Depression comes with severe mood swings, and I think that's what you're experiencing. Ideally you should bring it up with your doctor or therapist of you go to one, but that's what I'd say it is.

Sup anon, I've been diagnosed with psychosis, depression, and bipolar on top of those. I'm prescribed for all three currently, ask me anything.

If theres one thing i wanna mention it is that it doesn't feel the most real to myself even though i know i need these medications to maintain a normal baseline mindset. how i identify is a reflection of how i feel which is kinda jumbled because of what i've been told i have, so i've been fighting for my true self amidst it all. I know i seem like a silly person to most and my friends but all people I know think I'm either stressed or anxious all the time even though its just my energy level which changes. some days i'm in zombie mode but socializing i have random bursts of energy.
