Standard type of Bipolar??? hahaha yeah right
Everyone's Bipolar is different. So very very different.
I never get the " Yay WOW!!! I feel great and I can do anything I want" kind ups .. I tend to get the angry,irratated, annoyed,can't sit still kinda of "mania"
I'm Bipolar I . I do know if I take an AD I will flip right into an ugly mean mania in about 72 hours( learned that the hard way)
My T , Pdoc and I have discussed at length whether I am rapid cycling or mixed state .. Its a tossup, It use to real bother me, wanting to know exactly what it is, now I really don't care, either way won't change how I treat or react to it.
This site has been a personal life saver for me. The friends I have made here are priceless.
