Just as the title says, I suffer from rapid cycling, although to a pretty abnormal degree. My depressive cycles used to last years, then months, then weeks, and in between, days, and sometimes, hours. I can literally wake up feeling terrible, then feel totally normal a few hours later, and then go back to being depressed. It goes back and forth like that constantly. The question I have is, how do you cope? I can't get normal tasks done because hypomania distracts me and I end up doing something stupid and impulsive with my time, or I get depressed and really lazy. I can barely focus most of the time. How do other rapid-cycling BPs cope?
