Hey all,
I need some advice. I don't know if what I'm experiencing is linked with bipolar disorder, but it's the only thing I can relate to right now.
Earlier this year I was diagnosed with depression, since then I have reached a few crisis points, however, none were severe enough to put me in hospital.
I have tried to be as open as possible about what I think and feel, however, I've not been entirely honest with everyone about certain things I go through.
I seem to be experiencing extreme mood swings, and by extreme I mean how rapidly they change. Last night I got upset, for what I reason I don't know. I cried for hours, then straight after, and I mean that quite literally, I felt as high as a kite, to the point where I was silly and talking to myself. I can't remember what about though. I ended up staying up all night re-designing my website and heading off to work at 7am, with no sleep at all. When I got back I felt awful! I slept then from 4pm until 12am. I'm feeling OK at the moment. I have notice that this kind of thing will happen a few times a month.
Now, I know there is something wrong with this picture, it's not just "me being me". I guess I'm just scared to face reality and to admit to myself that something is very wrong. My family hasn't noticed any of this lately so I can't turn to any of them.
I'm not sure what to do now. What do you guys think?
