Self Assessment Test for Bipolar Disorder

The “UPS”
I feel like I am on top of the world.
I feel powerful. I can do anything I want, nothing can stop me.
I have lots of energy.
I don’t seem to need as much sleep.
I feel restless all of the time.
I feel angry all of the time.
I have lots of sexual energy.
I can’t focus on anything for very long.
I sometimes cannot stop talking and I talk really fast.
I am spending lots of money on things I don’t need and can’t afford.
Friends tell me I’ve been acting differently. They tell me that I’m starting fights, talking louder and getting more angry.

The “DOWNS”
I am really sad most of the time.
I don’t really enjoy the things I’ve always enjoyed doing.
I don’t sleep really well at night and am very restless.
I am always tired. I find it hard to get out of bed.
I don’t feel like eating much.
I feel like eating all of the time.
I have ached and pains that don’t go away.
I have little to no sexual energy.
I find it hard to focus and am very forgetful.
I am mad at everyone and everything.
I feel upset and fearful, but cannot figure our why.
I don’t feel like talking to people.
I feel like there isn’t much point to living, nothing good is going to happen to me.
I don’t like myself very much. I feel bad most of the time.
I think about death a lot. I even think about how to kill myself.

I go back and forth between feeling really “up” and feeling really “down”.
My ups and downs cause problems at work and at home.
