What some people perceive as rapid or ultra cycling is actually that the person hasn't found there personal "stable" honestly to be considered stable its at least 4 weeks of a level mood and the ability to go about your day doing what needs to be done.
Often people are having situational issues that can be confused with the randomness of Bipolar shifts ..
Yes Ultra and rapid cycling happens But so does typical situational shyt that causes everyone on the planet... MI or not to have trouble managing life.
Do you chart your moods? Thats typically a good way to see if your following a pattern.
Your complaints about chest feelings and puking ,, well thats most likely Anxiety .. Have you tried some breathing exercises or meditation too help? Mindfulness is very helpful also .
Good luck  |
I understand some of my mood could be situational but it always seems to be that way. It couldn't always be from the things I'm dealing with in life but I catch your drift.
I kinda sorta started to track my moods using this site but I've never gone as far as using a journal to explain more in depth and some days I don't track it at all.
I'm on an antidepressant/antianxiety but it doesn't work for either. I read some symptoms about bipolar 1 and 2 that make me say yes and no so then I think I must be rapid because I flip and flop so much. I'm in such a weird spot trying to determine what it is. I know I have depression anxiety but I am also paranoid and I have slight visual hallucinations. Fml
