I know 2 cycles or so a year is normal and more frequent is called rapid.
But could it happen as often as daily i.e. one day up, one day down? This would obviously be before medication is taken.
I call my bipolar rapid bipolar because my mood swings are so rapid its a wipeout.. on my way to my psychotherapy which only takes 15min to get there I was paranoid...laughing...then crying....anxious to get there then right before i got there i convinced myself i was fine and don't need meds or therapy. or I'll call and leave a message with my therapist manic with these thoughts about how i've mastered my illness and I can do anything ...then I'll leave a message within a hr to 2 days I'm frantic and sad
