Rapid cycling and/or mixed episodes. I don't like some of the terminology, really, because a lot of what I know about my disorder is based on my own intuition.

I get like that frequently...I've been doing it lately. The only thing that's really been helping is to talk it out. The thoughts feel like shadows in my head and once I let them out, everything feels better.

I'm an unmedicated bipolar, though. I responded negatively to some meds and so I got off them and never looked back. I realize this is unconventional so if the problem IS with your meds, then my advice would probably mean nothing.

Also, I agree with the above person who said it could be related to hormones. My moods flare and go crazy when I'm hormonal. It's magnified tenfold around that time of the month.

Hang in there. You'll be fine. <3 And we are here for you!
