Please go here to look up info about this disorder. See what you think and maybe you can talk to your Pdoc about it when you see them if you think it fits.

I hope that you start to feel better soon - and know that you are definitely not alone in this bipolar battle my friend  . |
Wow! Thanks so much for those references, LaraLynn. They explain all of what I have been experiencing. It seems my strange perceptual distortions of the world around me are not chronic, but short and disorientating, none the less, and are quite common in a range of disorders, including bipolar.
In the last 2 days I have been shifting gears rapidly towards mania, and having sleep trouble (who needs to sleep, right?).
Thanks again for your valuable help.
Pete
