Hello Erecura. I'm sorry that you've felt uncomfortable, at times, mood-wise. If you feel that these periods are very distressing or even slightly disabling, I suggest you contact your doctor to discuss them. No one here can, or should, offer any opinions about your mental states. We cannot, and should not, even try to diagnose because we're not qualified to do so. Even if one of us was a psychiatrist, we could not even adequately speculate, based on a post in a forum.

Before visiting your doctor about any concerns, you may want to take an online test and bring the results with you to a consultation. There is a bipolar test here on PC even. The results of such tests are not always accurate and reliable indicators, but rather help with points of further discussion. Truth is, sometimes people without mental health problems have mood swings, more or less productive periods, trouble sleeping, periods of binges, etc, but they may or may not be within the range of bipolar illness diagnosis. Sometimes other health (or mental health) issues may be to blame. It can be hard to know where the "lines" are between the norm and not so norm, or at least be severe enough to warrant certain types of treatment.
