I dunno what’s going on really; I wasn’t diagnosed with bipolar disorder but my psychiatrist said I’m on the bipolar spectrum (2 years later and I still don’t know what that really means) but I often question whenever I’m having really extreme reactions to things like...irrational reactions? Like I get SUPER angry really fast and I scream or hit something (I have a long, complicated history with self harm, too)  and today I really scared my puppy which made me burst into tears. Or I get really paranoid - yesterday I bumped a trash can with my car and the whole drive home I was convinced I’d hit a person, and that actually happens kind of often? 
Anyway, is this mania? Maybe? Sorry for the rant, I do have a therapist, I’ve just never brought it up before
