I was recently rediagnosed as bipolar. I was originally diagnosed as major depression disorder and couple anxiety. I have felt "ok" past week or so not happy or some minor episodes of depression.
Today at work I felt as if I couldn't catch up with my mind. I wasn't anxious but more of not enough things to think of (if that makes sense). I was also pretty irritable when things weren't going as I wanted to and had some jealousy bouts about coworkers socializing w each other rather than with me (I'm not sure how that feeling came about). I also ordered a 300 dollar watch that put me over the limit. Was/am I having a manic episode??? I'm not happy or excited, just kinda "fast" impatient irritable and I guess grouchy. Any input sharing or ways to deal with it. And if I'm not manic does anyone know what I'm describing. |

To be honest this sounds like either just a mood swing, or maybe the beginnings of a mixed episode. I would monitor your feelings and report them as mixed states can get very scary and irrational.

Sounds like anxiety to me. Similar things happen to me and it is anxiety not mania.
But the buzz word on this site at the moment is Mixed so I bet you will get a whole lot of people telling you that. Ask your pdoc or look up the symptims of anxiety. Manic episodes must last more than 4 days. Where as anxiety can have just as many symptoms. Feel better soon

I think yes I was on the edge, but I had no "butterfly" feelings. Unfortunaetly when I web md a disorder or disease it feels like a lot of the symptoms are similar lol. I am diagnosed with general and social anxiety disorder. To be honest though I can not think of naything that would make me anxious today.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
