^^^ This right here is a big part of it. Very well said.

It's like suddenly you can take on the world. And you feel like you have lightning in your veins or something.

I'm an ultradian cycler so I move through things pretty fast. 3-5 days is a usual cycle for me, but I can also switch within hours depending on triggers. Triggers can be as small for me as not getting enough to eat in a day to having too much going on. I don't handle stress very well at all.

I think the best idea is to track your moods and triggers. Igger... figuring out what is going on will take remembering exactly what happened so you can share it with your doctor.
