I sure hope you reach out and get some help. It can make a big difference.

To be diagnosed with bipolar disorder your episodes of depression/hypomania or mania have to last 4 days or more, or be admitted to the hospital with mania.

There are periods of depression. Pretty much like the commercials describe, low mood, suicidal thoughts, aches and pain, not showering, sleeping lots or insomnia. It is something that cycles so you will notice shifts in mood. Mood episodes can last just the 4 days but often last weeks or months.

Hypomania is elevated thoughts, so you may talk faster, your thoughts may be quicker, you will usually have more energy, and you will usually have sleep problems where you sleep less each night but aren't tired from lack of sleep, you may spend foolishly or do risky things, your sex drive may be really high. It can feel very good to be hypomanic but causes a world of problems sometimes. Mania is all these things taken to the extreme. So instead of foolishly spending money you may spend all your money, or start sleeping around, or talk so fast people can't understand you. Some people get hallucinations or delusions.

No matter what label they give it you need some help. I hope you seek out someone. A psychiatrist would be best but the first person you usually have to see is a regular doctor and then they refer you. If you start to feel suicidal go to the Emergency Room and get help.

I think the best approach to what you are going through would be to see a psychatrist and tell them all of your symptoms. No one on here can give you a diagnosis. It seems you may have some symptoms that may not be related to bipolar disorder. Diagnosis is not the most important thing, what is more inportant is that all your symptoms are being treated. Once that is accomplished an accurate diagnosis may come later.
