There are lots of signs of bipolar disorder. The best thing to do is to see a doctor/psyciatrist. But if you want to check into it for yourself then there is a website that is very useful.

Symptoms of MANIA include: feeling on-top-of-the-world, talking rapidly, thinking rapidly, having tons of energy, starting projects and not finishing them, spending money, speeding, lots of sex, not needing sleep
Symptoms of DEPRESSION include: Fatigue, feeling sad, not getting out of bed, gaining weight, losing weight, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, crying spells, sleeping all day,
BUT, these mood episodes DO NOT occur constantly. Episodes usually last weeks or months. Like a person will be depressed for weeks then may be stable. Then may be manic for weeks. Then may be stable.....
