Answers:
There are no actually day to day symptoms of bi polar. i dont know how much you already know but bi-polar disorder, also known as manic depression, is a mood disorder, characterised by swings in a person's mood from high to low - euphoric to depressed.
In the manic phase (also referred to as hypomania or going high), you may have excessive amounts of energy and feel little need for sleep. Your thinking and speech tend to be faster than usual, and your thoughts can jump rapidly from one subject to another, making conversation difficult. Inflated self-esteem, loss of inhibitions, and grandiose ideas or delusions are typical features. When you are manic you may behave in ways which can have serious consequences when the episode is past, for example leaving your job, spending a lot of money, or giving away your possessions
During a severe depressive episode, you may have feelings of hopelessness and despair, of lethargy, broken sleep, overwhelming negativity and difficulty in carrying on with the activities of day-to-day life. When you are depressed you may want to withdraw from society or even contemplate suicide.
