Sounds like a mixed-mood state to me. These things are hell and if you're heading into one, please call your pdoc ASAP to see if he can medicate you and abort the episode. I had one early this summer, and at one point I was sitting on the bathroom floor at 2 AM scrubbing the floorboards with an old toothbrush and sobbing hysterically.
I thought I was depressed......called pdoc after a week and a half of this, and to my surprise he medicated me for mania instead. He was right, though, and within a few days I was a lot better. I only wished I hadn't let myself suffer for so long before calling. So if you feel like you're headed for trouble, call and let your doctor sort it out. Take care.
