Could I have Bipolar II aswell as SA?

Postby Minaseesee » Mon Nov 12, 2012 10:30 pm

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?

i don't know if i am dx as 1, 2 or nos. what you describe could be normal mood swings. the feeling confident and up and lack of sleep does sound hypomanic. I am sorry i can't offer more advice, you really have to work with a psychiatrist to find out if you may be. If your state goes on for two weeks or more you should talk to a psych. sorry no help.
