Wider-reaching than DSMIV? Really?!? It's incredibly broad as it is . . .
I was diagnosed with bipolar before sz. Now that I look at it, I think it's my hormonal cycles. I'm feeling really guilty right now because I bought more stuff than I can reasonably afford (makeup, clothes). I *always* do that in the week I have my period. Then I have a week of extreme productivity where I'm also uber-psychotic, then a week of OCD where I clean everything and am scared of germs and the house exploding and when I often smell gas/think there's poison in my food/decide to diet, then two weeks where I want to kill myself and everything is shite, then . . . well, you know, cycle repeats

I hate it. I have almost no control over it. But it's not bipolar, I don't think.
