Depression or bi-polar?

I've been trying to figure out if this is anything for weeks now. There are some things that suggest i'm bi-polar.

Irritability,
more active (i'll excercise about 2 or 3 hours a day),
i've been having these thoughts like last night I thought I saw my soul leave my body
I've also had racing thoughts


But I also don't feel very high or euphoric at any point. I'm pretty zombie-like to tell you the truth. I'm afraid to spend money, whereas most say that spending sprees is a big part of mania.
I also am very quiet, whereas rapid speech is also a big part.

I don't have inflated self-esteem, I don't cut myself but I do hit myself.

I'm very confused. How do you determine between depression or bi-polar?

I also have not had sleeping problems.

you should probably go see a doctor about this. to me it sounds more like depression since you don't get the very manic-y episodes. trust me i live with members of my family who have bi-polar disorder and you can tell a manic episode from a mile away. to get a proper diagnosis and treatment you need to see a psychiatrist. counseling can help as well.

good luck with everything.

I don't think you should be looking for a diagnosis on here, you need to see a psychiatrist for a proper diagnosis and the right help

Go see a doctor fast before it turns into somthing worse.
