My cycles last months.
My guess is the mood swings within the states themselves, since the states themselves are comprised of so many more emotions.

Or that it's simply a case of the board having a higher concentration of rapid cyclers than you would see in a given geographical area, since it's people from all over.

Bipolar is actually often misdiagnosed as Borderline at first, but there are definite differences. If you've ever known someone with only just BPD, you could totally spot the difference. They have mood swings for very specific reasons, not just no reason at all. And then they can very eerily snap right out of them as if nothing happened. (I work with someone who I'm pretty certain is Borderline).

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
