It's best to speak to a doctor about this as lay peoples opinions can be very misinformed, however, saying that I am about to give you mine! There aee days with depression that you can feel better and then go back into a low spell!. This does not necessarily mean that you have bipolar, it may just be a natural state of mood changes!. On the other hand if you are concerned speak to your doctor!. It may be that you think you are having periods of feeling better or really good but could be hints of mania!. However, I throw caution that diagnoses are never straightforward and a person can suffer from a number of mental illnesses just like a person can suffer from several physical illnesses!. You said yourself that you are suffering from anxiety as well as depression!. One study had participants admit themselves with the same symptoms and they got diagnosed with two completely different mental illnesses!. I would personally say that it sounds more like depression as in bipolar you would probably have had a longer term of mania within seven years!.

Bipolar 2 is like that, but there is still mania!. "feeling good or okay" is not mania!. it sounds like you just have a type of depression with anxiety!. Talk to a doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com
You can research it and understand that bipolar has varying degrees of mania and depression!. There is something called cycling which is going from manic to depression and back again too!. Manic-depression may be set off by stresses or even lack of sufficient lithium, a necessary trace mineral!. It may be lost from sweating in hot climates or from working, or from dieting and not getting enough of the trace mineral in foods, or even through an illness such as stomach virus that depletes the minerals from the body!. I read a story about someone who got electrocuted and went manic for awhile!. I've seen lithium salts at a local health food store, probably medical doctors would say not to take them without being diagnosed, but if it is mild and it helps you might try that!. It would be sad to be diagnosed with a mental illness and the stigma when all you needed was a little bit of extra minerals in your diet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
