But they’re out side factors that are causing you to be depressed. I know that I’ve had both going on at the same time I’ve had episodes where I was literally crying every day but still going to school work taking classes for recreation doing yoga just all over the place but I definitely agree that you can have episodes within each other

I did mention this to my doctor, but she didn't really seem concerned at all. But I think she is getting more and more concern about me having bipolar disorder, as I have atypical depression, which I have read is more common in people with bipolar disorder, I'm treatment resistant, and I've had a psychotic episode (for one day, but). She hasn't out right said that she is looking for bipolar disorder, but she has been asking questions related to bipolar disorder, so...

I haven't felt that restless and good since. But it was like for 1.5-2 days, so I don't really know. I know they are looking into major depressive disorder with short-duration hypomania. It's in the DSM-V. So I guess there is evidence of people who have hypomania for a few days. I guess I just have to wait and see...

Thanks for your response.
