Its not common for Bipolar shifts to change in a day one way then flip back to anohter in a day or so... Unless its a " Mixed episode" and those are almost always pure hell on earth and most people run as quickly as possible to a Doctor.
Sorry if my question upset you in any way.

Thanks, oh I see now why you asked, it's OK
, no, I don't have an official diagnosis mainly because no one so far has bothered to try and diagnose me (I have been to several places so far yep).
Mixed episode, well if you mean having both positive and negative emotions intensely, hell yes that's what I have. I'm fine after it runs through me though... I act it out a bit then finally I get exhausted and then it feels like my mind is finally clean, no thinking anymore
(A bit of a depressive crash next day after episode end but that passes fast too)
I was bringing up schizoid PD because I had symptoms very similar to that for many years but it's possible it's just similar and not outright schizoid PD. Perhaps just a coping mechanism that resembles the personality disorder itself.
Anyway how it is relevant is that when I wanted to finally exit my isolation is when all the moody **** started
It was a sudden change tbh, me wanting to change from isolation back to normal.
