I sometimes get this, in particular I had these symptoms in a mixed episode while on Lexapro (diagnosed bipolar unspecified) and I also have PMDD and that can cause a lot of emotional reactivity during that time of month. While I definitely have a mood disorder, I am starting to realize with mindfulness and careful reflection of what's going on with me that some of my symptoms may be due to emotional issues, perhaps some issues I have not resolved for a long time. I see you saw a psychologist, have you tried much therapy and has it been helpful? Not suggesting you don't have bipolar disorder or don't need meds, by the way, just that I am finding therapy to be an important part of realizing what's going on in my brain.
