It sure can be tough when we're up and down, especially when it happens regularly.
Sorry but I don't know the specifics of your bp diagnosis so I was just wondering if you're a rapid cycler or if you've ever been told that you have mixed episodes? Don't worry, I'm not trying to diagnose you by any means, I'm just wondering if you've ever been told this and whether or not you've been through such rapid fluctuations before.
When do you see your pdoc again?

Thanks for taking the time to read, I know no one here has to so all views and replies are greatly appreciated whether they're critical or not.
To answer your questions I've only been treated for depression although I've been told I match the criteria of bi-polar disorder due to the nature of my mood swings by doctors so I can't really give you the professional answer but in my experiences I would say both you know?
Everyday it's like I'm a swinging pendulum going from happy go lucky to miserable, and sometimes from miserable to just a neutral feeling.
My wife is a psychologist major that's what's so ironic but I haven't seen a doctor or anyone in quite some time now because of my lack of insurance and funds to afford treatment. I take others anxiety meds every once in awhile when I'm going out and I know I'm feeling crappy but that's why I've chosen to take the initiative and join this site because I'm tired of feeling like the dark cloud hovering over my loved ones.
