I believe in everything you have said. One reason it has been so hard at reaching a solid diagnosis for me is that at one time I exhibited bipolar symptoms. I had hypomania from Prozac and another time got it from using LSD. At other times I have cycled into wild hypomania from the stressors of a job. It has been an evolving disease in my opinion. And to further back it up I even responded to lithium allbeit for 5 days, but it was definately a response. It could have possibly been a placebo response. When I go back and look it over as a whole though schizophrenic negative symptoms have been predominant throughout my life possibly even going back to pre adolescence, but I know what some hypomania feels like, so there is some crossover like you said.
