Ye gawds........nice to know I'm not the only one who gets RIDICULOUSLY irritable sometimes!! It's pretty bad when I can't figure out if I'm depressed or not---this part of the mania/hypomania confuses the hell out of me. I used to be "up" all the time during what I've come to realize were manic phases; now, I get agitated, hostile, defensive, oversensitive, and paranoid. I also can't sleep, eat, or concentrate, which makes work just a huge clusterf*** since I need to be on top of things at all times. I am NOT having a good time with this bipolar stuff.
