Ok, I'm not trying to diagnose you of course, but just give you some ideas of whether it is or isn't bipolar. of course you need to see your doc for a proper diagnosis, but they've all covered that. from my experience you
might be having a hypomanic episode. I'm bipolar II (I don't get complete manic episodes) so I know about this, and what you are describing sounds kind of familiar. this leads to a site about syptoms of a hypomanic episode:
http://counsellingresource.com/distr...-symptoms.html you could have had a spiritual ephiphany that just really stuck with you; I heard about people that find God or something and it really makes a difference for them. but, it can also be a hypomanic thing; sometimes I would think I had an ephiphany but it was cause I was in a really good/happy mood or something. But, this isn't to discourage you, you could very well be right. And there isn't really anything wrong with a hypomanic episode (in my opinion), it makes you feel great and you act more proactively and everything. but, if it is an episode it can lead into a manic episode - which can be very dangerous and scary/frustrating from what i've heard - or it could crash really hard back into depression. but yeah, you need to check w/ your shrink/doc. my psychiatrist diagnosed me and it's been helpful to know what's going on and to take proper meds. you should get that done.
