On my bipolar....the bodies bipolar...it's a genetic issue. It has a cycle of 3 days...ultra rapid cycling...there is a mood change/switch. The meds stops the cycling, and holds my mood at baseline. When a depressed part comes out, that part stays depressed. It's the timing of the cycle that clues me onto the nature of its cause. It's a roller coaster and I can feel the changes through the cycles.

See, now I came out...I'm the clinical version of us all...Shelly went back in.

What clued me in on the bipolar is when I was prescribed an anti-d, I shot through the roof to hypomania which took a stabilizer to flatten me out. Bipolar affected individuals generally have this reaction to SSRIs.

Do you have a T that you can speak with? They can help you sort through it all.
