my friend says i have symptoms of hypomania...i'm more productive than i've been in a year, i'm easily excitable and too perky, am eating a lot less than i normally do and i still have ENERGY...and there are nights when i don't sleep....but then days after that, i can sleep all day.
she says that if i get tired, i'm not manic...so what is it then?

it could be a mixed state, or rapid cycling...i myself go thru so many moodswings every day that it's hard to keep up. i was just diagnosed with BP so i am not even sure what exactly i fit into...all i know is, BP is different for everyone and the symptoms vary widely.

When I have short episodes like this my doctor tells me they are bouts of anxiety mixed with hypomania. Could be different for you though. Don't know for sure. Ask your dr.

she's mixed bipolar...i don't know if that's the right way to say it.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
