I guess mainly I have a hard time understanding the definitions. The more I read, the more confused I become. I think it's easier to understand when someone tells me how their day was.

I used to have a job that I absolutely hated. I forced myself to go to it on the bad days. When I'd have a good day though, I'd go in and I'd be so happy it was unbelievable. I mean, I almost could've hugged everyone who came into the store. On those days I'd think, "Wow, this is awesome. From now on I am always going to feel like this." And then I'd 'crash' and I again hated the world and everyone in it. Driving to work was a bad experience as everyone pissed me off with their stupid driving. I was miserable and it took every bit of biting my tongue til it bled to not say something absolutely horrible and losing my job. I can't believe I was never fired!

And I have fits of rage and times of great energy. The only thing that doesn't fit much to me is the whole excessive spending (even though I've been somewhat frivolous) and promiscuity. I mean, what is hypersexualism anyway? I think I need to research this part more.

I think it's a bit difficult for me to pinpoint exactly my bipolar symptoms b/c I also have Narcolepsy... So the whole great energy may be swayed because of my need for uncontrollable sleep. Ahhh my head is spinning. It's too much, too confusing!
