Hello everyone. I don't usually come in here because I don't have the dx of bipolar. I know, not cool, but yet so strange. Anyways...you're probably wondering why I'm here, right?

Let me explain. In my life I have been diagnosed as having everything from schizophrenia to your basic depression. I've been prone to mood swings and also have had a few manic episodes.

I haven't been able to sleep at all the past week or so. The shocking thing is that I'm not even all that tired. Since the quality and quantity of my sleep seems to be dwindling and my productivity is increasing, I thought I'd dabble around with DocJohn's little quizzes.

I know they are not a diagnosis tool or anything like that, but I scored pretty high on both the Mania Quiz and the Bipolar Quiz.

The last week I haven't been able to sleep before 4 am. Last night (or should I say this morning) I couldn't get to sleep until 6:30 am. I got a total of 3 hours sleep in the past 24+ hours. This kinda worries me a bit.

For both quizzes I took, I scored moderate to severe. I can't remember the exact amounts, but that's the range it was in. I'm very preoccupied all the time, too. So I'm forgetting a lot of stuff that I should be doing. Forgetfulness should be my new middle name.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
