So, I've been struggling with depression since November, and at first I was depressed 24/7 with all the normal symptoms of depression. However, around 10pm on December 19th, I had this HUGE random burst of energy. I was just watching YouTube when i got this urge to just jump up and dance. I started blasting music and jumping and feeling absolutely euphoric. I cleaned my entire room, planned a trip to Greece, and I had about 20 tabs opened on my computer of random ideas and thoughts I was googling. This lasted for a little over a week before I crashed again into depression. Since then, I've had a few more of these bursts of energy, however they now only last for a few hours to a day, and they're not as intense. Also, during these bursts of energy, I almost always become extremely paranoid after a few hours (ex. I was convinced that my friends were going to kill me at a party).

Is this a normal thing for a depressed person to experience? Does this happen to anyone else? I'm not looking for a diagnosis or anything, I just want to know if anyone has experienced something like this, and some advice/help on how to deal with this.
