I've always doubted it partly because my parents do (my mother was with a man for years with one of the most severe cases of bipolar I've ever heard about...), and partly because I wonder if maybe it's just a combination of anxiety, personality, and 'being a baby' about it all (or that maybe I'm just imagining it)...
I've also never been hospitalized, though I did leave school for a while for debilitating depression and anxiety. These days I don't have the same mood for more than 2-3 days. I know rapid cycling exists, but it just doesn't feel extreme enough. It's more that the actual cycling is disruptive, not the individual moods themselves...if that makes sense.
