[Bits&Pieces]

The past few weeks have been a war ground of emotions, but I am not saying that I have not experienced symptoms before that. I have cried, I have danced around and laughed. I had been debating with myself if I have depression or bipolar disorder. Although I am definitely no professional, I had concluded that I probably have the latter because although I have had many periods of depression, I also have periods of very high happiness that I assume is mania. Now, the past few hours have been disastrous. Fifty minutes ago I danced around my kitchen fake-ballet style. Moments after that I ran upstairs, collapsed into my bed and nearly cried. About thirty minutes ago I cried in the bathroom. At this moment, I feel irritable. These past few hours may be caused by the stir crazy of not leaving the house for five days, but I am not sure. I do not need an immediate answer, but if anyone could offer any thoughts, it would be helpful.

I can understand your being concerned, although it could be attributed to staying in too long and getting cabin fever, which I'm suffering from right now. You probably should consult a doctor and get a diagnosis so that you know what is going on. You could be rapid cycling but that is just a guess. It's hard to tell what could be causing it.
