Bipolar II: If you have bipolar II, you will experience depression just as in bipolar I. However, the episodes of mania are less severe (hypomania). Bipolar II is more common in women. People with bipolar II have more depressive than hypomanic episodes.
Bipolar Disorder causes extreme mood swings, from feeling overly energetic (mania) to feeling very sad or having low energy (depression.
Mania may cause a person to:
- Feel extremely happy or very irritable.
- Have a very high opinion of him- or herself (inflated self-esteem).
- Not need as much sleep as usual (may feel rested after 3 hours of sleep).
- Talk more than usual.
- Be more active than usual.
- Have difficulty concentrating due to having too many thoughts at once (racing thoughts).
- Be easily distracted by sights and sounds.
- Act impulsively or do reckless things, such as go on shopping sprees, drive recklessly, get into foolish business ventures, or have frequent, indiscriminate, or unsafe sex.
Depression may cause a person to:
- Feel sad or anxious for a significant time.
- Feel hopeless or pessimistic.
- Have slowed thoughts and speech due to low energy.
- Have difficulty concentrating, remembering, and making decisions.
- Have changes in eating and sleeping habits leading to too much or too little eating or sleeping.
- Have decreased interest in usual activities, including sex.
- Have suicidal thoughts.
thats really weird. fuckin weird.
i wouldnt doubt it if im bipolar. fuck. my mood changed from YAY to NAY just like that. i completely shut everyone out and i cant seem to get out of my little slump.
i've been getting really no sleep at all, i'll go to bed late, but wake up early. and thats never the case with me.
my eating patterns are all messed up too. it might be cause i always eat less after my period, but i dont know.
i was just doing some research cause i was bored and i just stumbled across all this stuff.
it puts a lot of things into perspective.
