hi mel.i can explain about bipolar 2 which i have suffered for a long time.i have short spells of feeling high also called hypermania i feel really good.but very long periods of severe depression normally lasting for aproxx 1 to 1 half years.anxious and panic attacks are also quite commen.there are other types of bipolar such as bipolar 1 where you suffer mania instead of hypermania but i dont really know to much about them.
you should see a pychatrist who will be much more helpfuland hopefully you will get a answer to whether or not you have bipolar,doctors do not understand so you must see a specialist,if you do have bipolar then the quicker you will be put on medication and make your life easier,because the longer you go without med the worser it will become.
good luck gaz
