Yeah, you need to be professionally evaluated. That said, I will tell you that I have been diagnosed bipolar 2, but have never had a full-blown, typical manic episode. I've experienced unstable mood, edginess and extreme irritability. Music playing incessantly in my head. In mid-life, the 'positive' hypomania (exaltation feelings) turned into a dysphoric mania...severe anxiety, for example.

Mood stabilizers (lithium) help me.
