Yes, there is a "MOOD DIARY" you can keep and analyse after some period of time.
I'm not sure where I put the links to it. Could be here or at the links in:

If you ask me, from what you've described, its highly probable you are bipolar.

You can also go see a counsellor experienced in these things to get an opinion
whether you are bipolar or not; but remember, only a psychiatrist can make a
firm
diagnosis, not even a General Practitioner.

Also, monitor your sleep pattern. When in mania, most "maniacs" sleep only 1 or
2
hours a night and very light sleep at that. I'm in the depressive phase right
now and
sleep 12 to 16 hours a day. Don't seem to have the energy to do anything and
I've put
on weight like crazy!
