Hey,
You failed to mention what you're actually doing in your life right now. I mean, is there a connection between something happening in your life and the 'low' feeling of mood? On that note, in bipolar I don't think there's any limit on the respective lengths of the high and low periods. Most obviously come and go within days, but i've heard about really long periods for each too. 6 months sounds rather excessive though, and I can't help but think that maybe your recent anxiety/depression is due to something else which happened in your life. There is also a parsitic infection which can cause such a trend in moods, by the way. It basically comes and goes every few months or even years and causes depression. I can't recall the name of it right now, but I can try to find it if you want?

Edit - Have a look at Toxoplasmosis, which you might find interesting. That's not the particular one that I was thinking of though.
