I'm bipolar... massive mood swings ranging in one day and a lot of "episodes" of going from high manic to very low in a short time frame. Longest I have gone being very sad /depressed was about 3 months. There have been points where I am not even sure what is normal for me, and I've had doctors tell me that I am alittle too good at covering up my triggers or how I feel. I just recognize my triggers and force my mind to try and react in a more normal constructive way

True mania doesn't just last for an hour or two. It builds up over the course of two weeks and can last for weeks to months. In a manic episode, you would not need much sleep at all, you would have a ton of energy, you'd be extremely anxious, you'd be very irritable, and you may even have delusions, paranoia, or hallucinations. What you have just described sounds like positive mood swings, and I know they probably seem like mania to you because you have been so low for so long that you probably have forgotten what normal feels like Embrace your good moments and let yourself feel good for once. You deserve it.

I've been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, but I do go through episodes of mania, but they usually only last an hour or two, my doctor insists that this is not symptoms of bipolar. Most of the time I do have depression though, so maybe it's just some weird thing I have.

I used to talk a mile a minute and I’d have severe mood swings; since I’m medicated I don’t have any manic episodes
