I [23M] have had mild/moderate anxiety/depression almost my entire childhood. However, the last 2-3 has been moderate/severe and the last year has been absolutely debilitating. Interestingly though, my boyfriend pointed something out to me a few weeks ago and it’s really stuck with me and rose red flags in my mind. 

Every now and then, like once a week or at least a few times a month, I’ll suddenly jump out of this depression and go into this manic state. Ill go shopping, I’ll buy random stuff I don’t need, I’ll suddenly want to make plans with everyone and anyone, i start aggressively caring about deadlines and school work, I start smiling and I have this delusion that life is absolutely amazing. This usually lasts ~1-2 days and then BAM I’m right back in this debilitating depressive state. 

I have a doctors appointment in about 2 weeks to go over my mental health, however, it’s come apparent to me that I may have Bipolar Disorder Type II? Does my situation detailed above seem evident enough that I should bring up this worry to him? 

Thanks in advance!
