Lately, my moods have very little middle ground. I am either very hopelessly depressed & avoidant, all is useless, or I am on top of the world & manic. However, this occurs day to day, not over periods of weeks like I've been told bipolar disorder does. Also, my friends are dwindling as I somehow isolate myself. I no longer "fit in" anywhere.

I tend to think that this is a result of an overactive mind coupled with emotional sensitivity.
About a month ago, a poster with a similar experience named Chase asked a similar question. I'm going to link you to that post. Please read it through and let me know if it sounds right.
If you notice your friends are dwindling, then I'd suggest you counter that by getting out a little more, even if you put yourself in calmer social environments. Friends can really make a big difference.

It can very well be an overactive mind. I would read what Edahn said, and go from there. If you do not feel that your situation has changed any, ask your doctor about this.
