The flood gates opened, pure euphoria: 12pm
I'm talking, I'm feeling like I have to keep talking, I'm telling my personal info, I'm making the entire class laugh, Lifes great, racing thoughts(but not in a bad way).
180 from the past 7 days, quiet, down for 2 days, when I was at a stable mood I was missing the hypomania.
mood: hypomanic?
5 pm
I'm happy I'm home now, I know when I come down I'm going to feel stupid for the things I did today. I'm sitting the floor right now, I have a smile on my face, my brain feels like it's soaked in christmas eve, stuck in an orgasm. I feel so good I want to cry, tears of joy. I lookedi n the mirror and want to kiss it  
I'm happy I'm not around people, I had the urge to walk up to people I didn't know today, complement this girl I've seen around base. I would have come off as crazy.
according to webmd this is hypomania? My pdoc said I sounded like I might be bipolar when we first met, put me on wellbutrin sr 2 weeks ago, followed up 4 days ago: She says keep taking the wellbutrin, no diagnosis, I didn't ask for one.

In my opinion, one of the defining characteristics of hypomania or mania is that it affects your life negatively in a very big way (keeping in mind, too, that sometimes when in the throes of it, we're not so aware of this).
So, to me, (but not in a bad way) this sounds like you just had a really fun/happy, a little impulsive, day.
You might get a better idea from reading the criteria -at the top of this forum there's a description, including how long these moods tend to last. You can look up the DSM criteria on the Internet.
It's unusual for those with bipolar to be prescribed antidepressants alone -without mood stabilizers and/or antipsychotics. Wellbutrin, as I understand it, is also a pretty activating AD, so it doesn't sound like your doctor thinks you fit this diagnosis. That said, if you have concerns, you might want to keep a mood journal, how you feel, for how long, and what might precipitate or cause such changes in moods and bring it in to discuss with your doctor.
Best of luck.
