Definitely sounds like bipolar or something close. See a psychologist ASAP; faster cycles can be a warning sign. You’re not insane, you just have an unreliable narrator!
A few things I’ve learned from being married to a lady with bipolar for 16 years:
- it’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility
- not being able to trust your brain sucks, but knowing it can be a liar helps
- you can be happy and productive and have a normal life
- take your pills, especially if you don’t feel like it
- self-medicating has trade-offs - try to stick with TV or other distractions instead of things that can have consequences like drugs or sex
Good luck on your journey!

I have two friends and an ex girlfriend who are bipolar and this was my first thought too. I can’t really add much to what you said other than to stress seeing a phycologist ASAP and take your meds especially when you don’t want to.
