You don't sound bipolar to me. I can act a little manic at times, but it's just me feeling high-spirited & that's what you sound like.
I tried that questionnaire for possible bipolar & it's wasn't me AT ALL! Just my ADHD acting up. Why not try the questionnaire too?

And if the occassional benzo is all I need to quell any so called "hypomania" which is really more like occasional goofiness and immaturity and nothing more severe do I really need one? I never act on my impulses, and I'm not even sure it's hypomania or rather antidepressant induced stupidity that mimics ADHD. My sleep is fantastic no matter what state I'M in except that I need a lot of it...
