Spike, despite all the talk about soft bipolar II, unless something new comes up, I think mine is just ADHD & depression (plus little extras, but we won't go there now). I'm mentioning this because I don't *think* I know what it's like to feel dysphoric mania but I do know what you call severe anxiety disorder with depression. I never figured it was anxiety though, not the way I felt.

Link to this web-site & review the symptoms, this woman lists: http://home.att.net/~mercurial-mind/dysphoria.html
Now I'll compare how I feel myself when I'm in "severe anxiety disorder" phase.

Mood - I feel exactly as she mentions

Social - again, exactly like this. I KNOW 99% of the world are idiots.

Self-Image - not so much. I get very arrogant & while I know I'm being an arrogant idiot & don't like myself acting this way, I believe I richly deserve to feel arrogant because I AM better than others.

Concentration - I can't do much. I'm just too, too distracted & agitated. I accomplish little.

Energy - my energy level is low. I feel so agitated & restless, but seem also very tired. What energy I have is powered by rage like hers, but I'm not sure my rage is her level. I can still control my rage, but it does feel much more than just anger.

Sexuality - completely unlike hers. Mine's just dead, dead, DEAD. Anyone trying to touch me then would have me blow up.

Goals - when I get feeling like this, I do nothing but waste energy here & there & nowhere. Again, unlike hers.

Food - I can't eat like this. I nibble, nothing tastes good. I lose all interest in food when depressed.

When I feel good, I sound more like someone who's slightly manic but I still don't think I'm bipolar. I do need lots of sleep still & I alwasy remember what my limits are.

Don't know if this is any help at all. Like I said, I'd have to know that I was bipolar to know what the dysphoric mania was. One more thought though, if you were dysphoric manic, wouldn't you have had to cycle to that point from euphoric mania first? Did you?
