Still might be a good idea to tell them at least in message about the hypersexuality and lack of sleep which are straight up and down manic symptoms. The other stuff could be sneaking in without you knowing or ya know dysphoric mania without the euphoria is a thing too that no one here wants to see you get deep into either. You could be one of those bipolar folks that notice the racing throughts too, that's something you'd know better than I can gather from this forum, but I know with me my thoughts are always fast and chaotic, just mania makes them more disorganized and more like bumper-cars with like 1200hp rather than a high speed car chase (with the staties in those beautiful chargers of course).

Anyway, you have a pdoc, some stuff you've said can be interpreted as early warning signs, and we just don't want to see you get hurt; telling your pdoc and seeing what he says is going to hurt less than a full blown mood episode.
