If you’ve ever experienced mood shifts or if you’ve had difficulty dealing with depression and you want to jump out of your skin, you might have Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder that goes from either feeling low or neutral to euphoric or having a heightened sense of self. Some individuals with Bipolar I Disorder only experience heightened irritability or an extreme increase in energy.
That feeling, the euphoria or heightened sense of self are what’s known as hypomania and mania. This is what people with Bipolar Disorder deal with. If you don’t get fully manic, but you use your hypomanic states to get things done and work work work, you may have Bipolar II.
The swing from hypomania to depression is one of the things that makes Bipolar Disorder so difficult. When you’re depressed, it’s hard not to feel like it’s your fault. You feel like you “should” be “better.” It’s as if you have this little voice in your head telling you you’re not doing enough or that you’re not good enough.
With Bipolar Disorder II, the hypomania “high” isn’t as intense as the depressive “low.” It still can really start to affect you if you’re trying to go about your business untreated. This is where therapy in California can really help manage your mood and help you get to homeostasis.
