Like Poloboy says, it is definitely Manic Depression and you should be on meds for it now if you aren't. I was hypo manic depression type II. Meaning I was mostly depressed but could sometimes get into semi-manic stages that would seem normal to most since they weren't super manic. Sorta like your initial manic episode symptoms. But I was put on Paxil and it helped a great deal. Meds can help regulate your mood so that you do not go up and down. With that help you can start to get a grip on your life and maybe even come to learn how to manage your life like a "normal" (and I use that word cautiously) person. But that would be for your doc to decide. Some people will always need to be on meds to regulate, and some can learn to beat the disease and later be healthy w/o any meds.
I was there so I know what it is like. But rely on those people who care about you and talk to them about it, but most definitely, see someone who specializes in these matters. Maybe go to group counseling.
