bipolar can manafest itself like that. mixed symptoms are common. You need a profession to properly diagnose you. Sometimes it takes a while of seeing a therapist and a pyscdr. to get the right diagnosis. If it is bipolar only getting on the right meds will help. Bipolar is difficult because it has so many sides. And there is meds out there that won't cause weight gain or other problems, but you and your Pdoc has to try different meds till you find the right one. And it can be frustrating. I have been diagnosed with bipolar for almost 8 to 10 years, my bipo was more depression than hypomanic, but hypomanic is getting worse over the years. Hypo isn't bad when you have a big house to clean. Ha Ha. Good luck, my prayers are with you.
