For me, I cry uncontrollably, suicide thoughts, and have a lot of anger issues. Sometime it decides to get fun and will throw in paranoia and/or racing thoughts. That's when it can get dangerous for me because I'll have the suicide thoughts rapidly and the impulsivity to follow through.
Oh God, that sounds awful! I am so sorry.

Are any of the symptoms you listed above related to mania? Anxiety, irritability, agitation seem more to me symptoms of anxiety disorder.

Impulsiveness and pressured speech do sound like mania/hypomania. Thank you for your insight.
