Same as Beth, dysphoric mania with anxiety and obsessive rumination. My mind can get completely stuck in a loop for weeks sometimes. Often I also build up a huge amount of anger. And an endless supply of anxious energy with no way to let it out. It makes me feel like tearing my hair out or smashing up my entire house. I don't even really sleep at that point, at most it's a sort of half-consciousness with thoughts spinning around in my head all night.
Sleep problems in general are one of the worst symptoms for me, especially when depressed. Also, lack of energy and lack of motivation. Feeling like each of my limbs weighs about 50 metric tons.
