possable bipolar disorder???

I have PTSD and my depresion finally went away for a little while. For like the past two moths give or take i have been happier, but I still feel drained. I always feel like doing something but i don't know what to do so i get on here. Ususally i isolate myself but i do like people. There are times when i get maybe 3 hours of sleep give or take and i will wake up feeling refreshed. Other times i perfure to sleep for like 10-12 hours and i wake up all the time. Right now i just feel blaaa. I tend to feel guilty for things fast. i haven't been eating like normal...i have cut down and lost weight. other time i eat candy like crazy lol. My moods change a lot i guess it just depends. Its nice to be happy for once sence i was down for so long. I don't know if this might be bipolar or not or if it could just be apart of my ptsd. But im not taking any meds...or seeing a counslor. i have nightmares more than happy dream but its not about what happened to me. let me know what you think...anything is helpful. thanks. <font color="red"> </font>

I guess anything (I have learned) is possible...really a doc needs to make that determination.

Hi,

You really need to see a pdoc to get a correct determination on what's happening with you. I urge you to make an appointment to be seen.

Thanks for writting me back. Yesterday i stayed up 19 hours and still wasn't tierd. I went to bed though and slep like 10 hours hehe. I am planning on seeing a counslor in a few months to see if that might be whats going on with me. I seem to change a lot but im also trying to improve myself. I was so depressed for so long i forgot what being happy was like. Then just lately in the past few months i have been happier. I get upset easily and then i go but to happy within an hour or so. I don't know if it might be because maybe i was so use to being unhappy. If i saw someone really happy or someone using manners and being nice i looked at them like they were an alien or something. I was diagnosed with a cronic depression that i have had for years. So this is weird for me. When i was on medication i started to have weird thoughts and it just made me feel not normal at all, so i quit taking them and told my phsyciatrist. He told me that if i was bipolar that i would probably go through a high episode...which i didn't. I don't get overly happy just happy. I would say its normal. Awhile back ago I tried telling my P that i was experiancing new and wierd symptoms but i think he was trying to tell me that its in my head lol. I was experiancing a tickling sencsation in my ear and down my neck and it wasn't my hair or a bug. I would see a light for a split second and then it would be gone when i went to look at it. Now i keep thinking that i see little things moving or crawling. i look hard at it and nothing is there. I tried asking my doc once to see it it was a hallcination but he don't think it was..and i just don't know. I usually ignore it but sometimes i don't. and its been happening lately. Its really nothing for me to worry about though. I don't know....but thanks for giving me you opinions. for all i know i could be fine lol

It may be a good time to book with counselor now...sometimes it can take awhile to get in...
