Although my pdoc and I haven't yet discussed it, I suspect my BP is of the rapid-cycling variety because I've had multiple mood episodes this year alone. I think they're less intense now because I'm medicated, but they still happen.

The people I feel really sorry for are the ones with ultradian cycling---their mood changes several times within the same DAY. Talk about a roller-coaster.......I don't think I'd have the energy to keep up such an exhausting existence.
