Hi Gisele-I'm no doctor, but your symptoms sound like classical Bipolar I to me:

DEPRESSION = started gaining weight, started sleeping more and more, started watching more and more tv, more and more irritable, depressed, unhappy, got the flu, started feeling miserable.

MANIA = In between these depressions I have days or hours of off the wall happy, talk and laugh too much. I get obsessed with things. Sometimes I can think of nothing else and suffer insomnia on occasion.

My advice would be to see a psychiatrist and explain all your symptoms in detail, as you did above, and talk about getting on a mood stabilizer such as lithium/tegretol/zyprexa (there a many), as this is the best course of treatment for BPI, and possibly switching anti-depressants, as Prozac doesn't seem to be helping you much. Hope this helps a little!
