I am very restless. It is hard for me to stay on task for long.
Mood swings...well, I am still learning about myself and how to cope. I totally hate the mood swings. Today I am doing ok. Quickly, or later today, I may be very depressed (which I also hate). From what I have read about bipolar, I would go into modes of high activity or ideas. Like I would decide to bake cookies for everyone I know before the sun comes up. Or decide I am going to clean house from top to bottom even if I have to stay up all night.
So I am pretty sure I am not bipolar. It is hard for me to get to bed on time because I keep thinking of little things I need to do before I go to bed. However I will not stay up to do something that can wait or take on a big project and thus loose sleep.

Hey Seeker
I hope you are rested up. You sound so much like me. I seem to have the kind of mood swings that are totally on the down side like sometimes anger as well. I ruminate quite a bit and I get plain frustrated with real life stuff. There are reasons I get these mood shifts. I don't just cycle into a mood swing so it doesn't appear that I have bipolar either but I just am not positive that I don't yet. It appears that I don't, since my moods don't cycle by themselves. I really feel that I have good reasons to feel the way I do. My pdoc has my neurotransmitters so confused that it is no wonder I am so strung out. ADHD does seem like the culprit along with depression and anxiety. New pdoc soon I hope.
Take care
