I am moody all the time, like constantly. I know, I know, insert moody female joke here, right? Shut yo' face. Anyway, the wild mood swings get to me. I'm on Lexapro for depression, and that's helped immensely, but I still get wild mood shifts, just not as depressive. I can be angry one moment, and nearly deliriously happy a few hours later. Everyone I know thinks I'm moody, but I'm not sure they even know the full extent of it, because I've learned to mask most of my moods. I wonder if this is a symptom of bipolar disorder? It's all I can think of, even though I was under the impression that bipolar manic or depressive episodes don't usually shift so frequently. Anyone else go through this? Anyone knowledgable about bipolar disorder care to chip in? Are there any other reasons this could happen (besides PMS related stuff, I've ruled that out)? Thanks for your input!
