For one thing, I have depression. Also dealt with anxiety my whole life but that part is more under control in recent years. It's more like a lingering fear than debilitating.
The depression is tough at times.
Not sure if I'm bipolar or if this is just part of depression. I wonder about bipolar because of feeling two emotions. But I've read that depression can cause restlessness.
I feel ultra low. No will or ambition to do a single thing outside work. I am socially withdrawn.
Nothing makes me happy, then a feeling comes over me and I feel like I want to do something and I get excited. It's like a flicker of light but then it dims.
Then a night like tonight, tired after work, don't want to do a single thing... Then suddenly I got restless and had to get out. I started cooking lunch for tomorrow, which I never do especially not at like 9 at night.
Then I went out without any makeup on (not like me at all!!) to the supermarket so I could get some things I need. Didn't need to go yet either.
Just wanted to drive around and go somewhere, had to get out.
When I do those things and feel those strong feelings it concerns me because it's like I can't relax, I HAVE TO get out!!! Let me out, like I'm a rat in a cage.
This feeling washes over me from time to time.
So I thought I'd ask if it sounds like I could be bipolar. I'm leaning to no actually, but I just wanted to ask.
