OK, so I do tend to cycle quite quickly. Most predominantly I am in the depressed phase, but I can suddenly get a rush of energy and bounce all over the place. I also tend to get bored VERY easily.
I don't have serious manic phases, like I don't ever really find myself with enough energy to go out at night (and I'm only 24) nor do I consider crazy sexual activity. And I don't go on MAJOR spending sprees - I do however often tend to buy things I really don't need. Sunday I decided I want CD's - so off I went and came back with 5 new CD's - technically unnecessary, but it kept me happy.

I have been on Anti-depressants for just over a year now, sometimes also taking anti-anxiety meds. I have only been on a mood-stabiliser on top of this for the last few days, as I really could not cope and therefore spoke to my p-doc (Who is new) that i really feel like I'm battling with BP and not just depression
