I screwed up my posting, doh! (I apologize for the previous and for my long-winded scribbling.)
Now to your symptoms:
"Volatile moods/unecessary emotional intensity/paranoia, depression":
Bipolar, Atypical Depression, Histrionic Personality disorder along with a number of Personality disorders."Visions & vivid dreams": Sleep disorders, sleep-deprivation, Attention-deficit spectrum, side-effect of other Mental/Personality disorders and/or stress.
"Magical belief, hearing "wavy noises" and seeing flashes of light as I awaken":
Schizo-effective disorder, bipolar mania with schizo(psychotic)-features, the magical belief could also relate to Personality disorder (i.e. histrionic), and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy."Difficulty sleeping/remaining asleep/getting enough rest, forgetting familiar words":
Attention-Deficit-spectrum, Bipolar disorder/Mixed-State, Atypical Depression, side-effects from a number of other Personality-Disorders."Unusually irritable toward others but not depressed as I understand it. Not suicidal. Usually thinking positively. The bad-mood times for me are first thing in the morning and in the evening trying to go to bed":
Strong features of Bipolar/Mixed-State, Attention-Deficit spectrum and any number/combos of Personality/Mood-disorders.
