I've been experiencing issues for the past few months, and I'm maybe 60% sure I'm having symptoms of bipolar disorder.
So far I've experienced: -Being extremely depressed that it's really hard to get out of bed. -Every time I wake up in the morning, it feels like everything I felt the day before just resets back to being depressed. Doesn't matter if I was feeling cheery the night before. -Occasional dark thoughts like imaginings tragic events or suicide. -Easily irritable. I've never had anger issues in my entire life, but for some reason now I just have the desire to throw and destroy things when even the slightest inconvenience happens. -Immediately after being depressed for several days, I usually feel either normal or...euphoric? -I'm not exactly sure how to describe being euphoric, but it just feels really good, like I don't want this feeling to end because I don't want to feel depressed again. -I have trouble falling asleep because I don't want this "good feeling" to go away. -My mind feels frequently scattered. I would know there's no need to rush, but I would feel like and act like I have to rush. -After maybe a couple days, I go back to either feeling normal or super depressed.
Can anyone tell me what it's like to have bipolar disorder? Are these symptoms associated with bipolar?
