There are two major parts of bipolar disorder – manic episodes and depressive episodes. The following are symptoms that may occur during the manic phase of bipolar:
- Feeling a state of euphoria
- Unusually high optimism and inflated self-esteem
- Agitation and aggressive behavior
- Rapid thoughts and fast speech
- Inability to focus or concentrate
- Increased need to set and achieve goals
- Increased physical activity
- Increased sex drive
- Poor judgment and risky behavior
- Spending sprees and drug abuse
In sharp contrast to a manic episode, the next symptoms may present themselves in the depressive phase of bipolar:
- Sadness and hopelessness
- Anxiety and irritability
- Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
- Sleep problems and fatigue
- Loss of interest in things usually found pleasurable
- Strong or constant feelings of guilt
- Appetite changes
- Chronic pain with no obvious cause
- Problems with concentration and focus

I’ve known someone who suffers from this disorder and you are right on. My friend has many of the exact symptoms you listed. This will help me understand where her problem is and help me to deal with it better.
Thanks for the great post. I’ve had not one but two friends who suffered from this and your post is dead on in describing both guys. One of them had serious fluctuating weight issues due to his change in appetite.
