Well a few people have said it + I have noticed the way I act, it's been like this for a bit now, but I am depressed more than happy.
One example was a the saturday before last I was really really depressed. I felt like crying all time, I self harmed by scratching deeply into my arm, I tried to cut people out of my life, I isolated myself, felt really self concious and pessimistic about everything like I had no hope in life, also last week I went to the doctors and got diagnosed with social anxiety problems.
but I noticed that on thursday I felt really good and ever since that day I have. especially today. I have been up for anything, not felt as anxious, been joking around, been confident, had some hope, not though about bad things in life, have goals.......... I only had 2 hours sleep last night and still don't feel tired now, I felt great, whereas last week I had 6-7 hours and felt dreadful.
Could it possibly be early stages of bipolar or just social anxiety side effects?
Also at first I just thought I just had depression because I was depressed all the time and never happy, but I am now starting to have happy moods/normal moods inbetween and I'm guessing that's not normal?
Please could someone with bipolar II tell me what they experience?
