Only thing I can say is, it is bipolar. Wait out the episode. For the majority of people with bipolar, even bipolar depression rarely lasts more than 8 months, typically, mixed and mania are shorter.
Wish that were so, but we are all different. I have had 2 two year long depressive episodes and my mania/mixed often last a month or so.
