You did say it only lasts a cuple days, and when your bipolar, it's mood changes that happen several times in one day.

Psychology has their "ideas" about mental illness, but it's quite another thing to deal with. Some people just don't fit into the mold that doctors try to squeeze them into. You can't read someone's post and tell them what is wrong with them just from that. You're a psychology major. But think outside the box. Don't let your ego make you think that you know everything, because you never will. Hey "Luckyella", get your head out of a book and down to real life.

As for the frequency everyone is different but I seem to be depressed for a month or two then manic for a month or so. My depression does far outweigh my manic, but usually if I'm not down I'm on my way up. Obviously, medication does help to level me out but apart from on the meds there is no real middle ground. Very occasionally I am severely depressed but still able to have a laugh with good friends, and by no means is manic happy (I may feel great but I do tend to get aggressive easily and find myself thinking some pretty dark violent thoughts) No-body here can diagnose you, but it does sound like you suffer bouts of depression. No offence meant but how old are you? This could be explained away as just teenage hormones going crazy. Don't worry I'm only 19 so that was in no way an insult! Anyways if you really need help find someone to talk weather that be family, a friend, youth worker or counsellor I think that is the only way you will find the answers you need.
