Hi,
Your moods etc sound similar to what myself and some other BP people I know have been through. Its quite possible you are going through a mixed manic/depressive episode. It certainly describes a large no. of your symptoms, racing thoughts, rapid mood changes, irritability. etc etc Also you can experience delusions, hallucinations, derealisation etc etc (I thought the world was ending so what was the point of living then I kept getting these shocked feelings that theworld existed at all!)

The best meds for mixed episodes are depakote and atypical antipsychotics. The antipsychotics not only get rid of any delusions ets but they also slow you down so you can breathe again.

Please look up details about mixed episodes. You say that you're not BP but have experienced mania, but experiencing mania is what defines you as BP and not unipolar.

I also think the idea of keeping a diary is a good one.

with warm regards,
Amy
