if you're unsure about whether the diagnosis fits, you could always go see a psychiatrist and see what they say! Usually they'll be able to give you a more accurate opinion after observing how meds affect you.
What I will say is that if you start an SSRI and your depression feels like it's cured WAY too soon then yeah it's definitely bipolar.

thank you so much for this recommendation. im checking back with therapist in two weeks,. i didn't go into detail with what was said but hearing that made me realize that my mood elevations were not normal kek.
im hesitant to do medication, I don't want to be reliant. but im seeing that this is not controllable compared tomy adhd is so thank you. im going to look into that pathway cuz ill probably end up with it regardless

It doesn't even have to occur while taking an antidepressant. These elevations can occur suddenly even without meds, with sleep deprivation being a major trigger for them (at least from what I've heard, of course).

ohhhh lmao then 100%
ive been paying attention lately to see where exactly my moods are coming from, and this past Tuesday i suddenly got ridiculously happy and never calmed down since. im looking out if my mood suddenly changes now to see what probably does it and how long it'll last kek

That definitely sounds like mania/hypomania from what you've described. Feeling euphoric and having endless amounts of energy (among other symptoms) out of nowhere isn't normal (though it does feel pretty great).
Also, I've quite recently noticed a similar pattern in my own self.

that makes two of us! well, i can't be mad with it. it sure does feel pretty dang great and helps me get stuff done. actually im going to update my therapist about it tuesday i just realized i got booked earlier which is very nice. it's not so bad but ive been bumping into just about everything since Tuesday also lol. after researching about bipolar i have a feeling it's just hypomania, because i dont get those hallucinations or anything like the NHS says. it just pairs up with the adhd and bounces me around for a while lol
