Ozzy - You get 2 hours sleep a night and you are anxious and irritable. This sounds like it might be hypomania to me. I think you should tell your doctor about this now. Even if you are not now hypomanic the lack of sleep may cause you to become hypomanic. - Jane
By the way your english is great. I wish my french were half as good.
