Ah, I feel much better knowing I'm not the alone one like this. Makes me feel much less "crazy" (I hope you know what I mean by that). Did you find that your drive and motivation diminished after taking the medications? I want to continue to be successful, but without the nerves and anxiousness that come along with it now. Thanks so much for your reply. It's made me feel much better today.

Always full of anxiety early on. Becoming very task oriented or academically focused at times (i.e. learning about gardening, every plant on earth, even the latin names). Graduated from university with distinction. On 14 different committees at work, above my regular job. We are on the same meds. I became very hypomanic and filled with energy with an SSRI, accomplished incredible things that I now cannot believe. How did I do that? Also have very depressed states.
So to answer your question, yes, these things sound characteristic of bipolar II.
Feel free to PM me anytime! You appear to be my kindred!
