I agree with the others.
Your mood swings don't seem to last that long though - generally in bipolar disorder the highs and lows last much longer than part of a day/a day/a week. But really you need to tell your psychiatrist what's been going on and they can diagnose you. It's best to try not to diagnose yourself, but recognising that something more than depression is going on is useful!
Best of luck with your appointment. Just be honest and open so you can get the right help you need.

	There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Terry Pratchett
