Well I'm not diagnosed with Bipolar but I do have around about a few days in a week when im feeling on top of the world, like I can do and achieve anything. I also get very animated when I talk and I talk fast. Excited. And like no one can stop me. Then after this, I feel nothing at all or low, sometimes to the point of reliving bad memories from the past. But when I feel, good (High), I love it

Probably not Bipolar, but perhaps you can help me out what it could be? I'm not great at emotions ect..

Hi. I have zero ability to pass a diagnosis as we're not Doctors. There are quizzes and lists of symptoms on this site. I believe borderline personality disorder can mimic bipolar as can kicking a drug or alcohol addiction. My talking in the past was often animated, nonsensical and interrupting but that was from adhd.

I know and that's fine. Just wanted to know what it 'could' be not what 'it is'.
I'm on meds for my ADHD and that's under control, so its not that. And its not the aspergers because the topics I get animated about, do not interest me much.

I'd go for another psychological exam. Adhd and asperger's can mimic or hide thinks. Adhd and asperger's come with these lovely combination of symptoms of there own. Bipolar is kind of a rule out disorder so even if you were to have it if the dr can attribute it to asperger's or adhd (and they more than likely can) you won't be diognose. There is a possibility that you'll have enough symptoms that you'll be diognosed as mood disorder nos but honestly you have so much going on it's best if you get a re-evaluation every 3-5 years. Most medical will pay for that

A few days a week doesn't sound like bipolar. I see that you have a dx of other MI problems. Maybe they're the reason for mood swings ? The brain is so complicated.
