If I feel down one day good the next....that's just life. Can you really call a couple hours to days of a mood an episode?
My depression last months and gets worse as time goes on
My mania last weeKS to months

When I get depressed, it's mostly pure depression. While there are days I feel I'm capable of more than I could the day before, it's not linear but rather dynamic.
Last 3 months I was depressed, and maybe once in 2 weeks I had a day where I was able to go out and have fun.
Now that I'm hypo for 2 weeks +-, there are days I'm blasting energy, but still would crash exhausted in the evening or something.. maybe wake up bit tired, but then get fired-up in the evening.. this is what makes it confusing to me, psychiatrist clearly stated few times I'm hypomanic now but I just don't get it how dynamic it is even in the hypomanic stage/episode/period/watever.
Thank you guys for sharing your experience with your patterns.
