Are panic attacks signs of bipolar? I have been suffering from panic attacks since 2020. 

6 months daily panic attacks, 3 months depression, 2 months good days, then now I am back to having panic attacks. 

Yes, I feel irritable whenever my kids touch me or someone asks me weird/stupid questions. 

Yes, I have been on and off depression since 2009. Antidepressants slightly work (?) they made the panic attacks less painful. 

Yes, I have difficulty sleeping cause I feel I might die in my sleep.

No, I am not abnormally upbeat, jumpy, or wired. I'm not talkative.

I was initially diagnosed with panic disorder. I got a new doctor now who told me I might be bipolar. 

So... I'm not sure if the *irritability + panic attacks + psychosis* is manic episode. I'm still in denial. I don't know what's going on and I'm really tired.

Does anyone have the same experience?
