My matters complicate things further, well for me, my psychiatrist however nods and says "yes" every time I try to talk to her about it, therefore I assume she knows what's happening at least.

What happens with me is that I'll have a sort of overalls depressive episodes which cycles to a manic episode which each last for about a few weeks to a month. However, during each of these episodes I can cycle daily from extremes within the extremes. I've been told I have Ultradian cycling but that sometimes it can slow down and speed up. She (my psychiatrist) said it could also be because my meds lose and gain efficacy depending on other factors, hence at times I'll cycle at different rates.

Very confusing indeed.
