A few days ago, I was at the bottom of a deep dark pit. Today I've felt like I could take on the world. Yet I haven't been diagnosed with bipolar.

The psych asked me if I ever felt manic and I said no, as I associate mania with overactivity, delusional thinking, increased energy - which definitely doesn't apply to me... but racing thoughts and a feeling that I could deal with anything, where usually I don't feel capable of dealing with even trivial stuff - yes, and is unusual for me.

Is it just a feature of normal depression, or worth mentioning to the CPN tomorrow?

I would say if you though about it enough to write a post, I would mention it.
Thanks for this!

Mention anything/everything. Let your pdoc decide what's important or not. By mentioning things, your more apt to get an accurate diagnosis.

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