What is your age iluvdukie? Sorry I am not sure if you had said before. This is a bit tough, to me kinda sounds a bit like normal teenage behaviour ( today's experience, not all of it ) But I am not in your head, so I don't know all what is going on in there. The diagnostic criteria for full blown mania is that it lasts continuously for at least one week, unless hospitalization is required.

From my experience with bipolar 1, I get both hypomania, and mania, hypomania is usually not as long lasting as a manic episode. It could be hypomania, but I am not a dr. the other thing I noted was that you said you has four small cups of pop, sugar can have a major effect on mood too.

hopefully you will be able to see a pdoc soon to get this all sorted out. I think the letter was wise, and she handled it ok, time to just breathe, it will come together.
