I'd love to know the answer to that myself thelittlethings86. I have been manic since the beginning of December and I a have faithfully been working with my pdoc and T and I am still a long way from stable again.
My cycles used to be daily, then they became monthly, then yearly, then every other year, then every 2 or three years, But when manic hits it stays and stays and stays.
When the downswing hits, Well I don't want to think about that Miserable morass of putrid wasteland.
I never know the answer.
I only know the older I get, the more my hormones and body changes over time the more my Bi Polar changes with it.
My primary goal is to work with pdoc and T to stay out of the hospital if at all possible.
Good Luck. And if you find out the answer would you let me in on the secret?
