i’m not diagnosed yet but in the process, we’re not sure if it is gonna be bipolar or not but i don’t know where else to turn to. i have episodes i guess u would call them where i think are manic i feel like intense and like my mind is racing and i feel quite impulsive and all my feelings feel a million times more extreme but im not always necessary happy or like in an elevated mood when i feel like that and it’s confusing me because i never heard of like negative moods in manic episodes and it made me question myself a lot and i just wanted to ask people who understand it more to have a better idea on it

I used to get a lot of mixed episodes before I was diagnosed, I would feel like a mixture of extreme irritability, agitation, hyper sexual too, one minute I’d be crying depressed and the next I’d be laughing and this could all be in one day, does sound very similar

I have these mixed feelings. I'm happy, very happy and then god knows what happens I'll start crying. Or sometimes I'm crying and then i will stop and start feeling confident, so like these, different moods and i have no idea what triggers me and the changes are like in seconds sometimes. So, i try a lot to make myself confident while I'm giving exams and i get too scared that what if my mood changes and then I'll lose all my energy. Also, i get teary on very small things, like there's some ad on tv which is just normal like and I don't know what happens to me, i start feeling like "woooow" and get teary but i don't cry as someone or other is around me.
