I've never considered being bipolar until a therapist in a french support group mentionned it recently. She doesn't want to go any further into this and asked me to see my doc, which i'm gonna do, but in the meantime i wonder whether she could be right or not.

basically I went through the same cycles over and over for the past 7 years: I'm really depressed for 2-3 months, during this period i'm usually suicidal for 2-3 weeks, then without reasons my moods starts improving. About 2 weeks later i feel great and believe i will never relapse, that nothing can hurt me. This last for 1-2 months before i finally relapse and the whole cycle starts again...

Until now i've only been diagnosed depression as every time I'd feel better i would stop what ever meds or therapy i was having and find a new doc at each relapse or would not seek any help at all. Anyway whether i had a treatment or not the cycles stayed exactly the same...
