Now, from my reading, I see that's more a symptom of Borderline Personality Disorder. Rapid cycling is 2 weeks down, then a week okay. That is what I seem to be dealing with. I wish some pdoc where I go for meds would understand how wearing this is. Probably I have not explained it well enough. I want to get off this Merry- go- round. I am litterally sick to my stomach with the mood swings.

I understand how you feel. I have the manic episodes and then I crash for days needing to recuperate as I'm exhausted. There are so many different ways people experience this illness, which is usually coupled with something else. I still think that most pdoc's are out of touch. I'm now actively looking for a T that is openminded to listen and help me cope with these extreme ups and downs. I hope you find more support, I'm hoping somewhere down the line to start up one myself.
