(6,581 posts)Thanks again, for about the hundredth time, for helping me through this. I don't know any other way in cyberspace than to say thanks. If you were here I'd all take you out or something.
So, I know "self-diagnosis" is probably not a good idea, but I'm definitely more depressed in my life than I'm up. But there have been some up periods.
But a lot of "mixed" feeling for me, which is really weird. Like, how am I able to walk 6,7,8 miles a day, with a lot of physical stamina and energy when I do it, because I'm really cruising, I'm not talking about a pleasant evening stroll, I'm going pretty fast and I "feel the burn". My heartrate is going up to like 120-125, and I'm really sweating. So, that is pretty high energy.
And I turn around 2 hours later and feel like I can barely drag myself out of a chair. That's low energy.
Feel great after exercise, can be crying 2 hours later.
So yes, I'm kind of mixed up in that sense.
Is this consistent with certain types of bipolar disorder?
