Hi bailey,

What's hypomania and what's "normal" appears to be the $64, 000 question. I had always resisted the bipolar label because I thought well I don't have these outrageous spending sprees and I don't suddenly have urges to start going out to bars and picking up a different man every night.

But I do go from top of the world one day to hating the world the next day or maybe two days later. I would go calling everybody I know and then by the time they call back, I don't want to speak to ANYONE. Things like you describe. If that's bipolar then I have it.

I just started on lamictal to try and stabilize my moods--I think if it works, I will buy the diagnosis once and for all.

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you good luck.
