I'm rapid cycling and I get agitated depression or dysphoric mania.

Right now I get an episode every 6 weeks and they typically last about 2 weeks, but my episodes used to last several months. I don't know... my medication seems to have caused rapid cycling. (I wasn't rapid cycling before I started medication.)

But yeah, I don't think I experience textbook depression. It's always agitated or dysphoric, but usually agitated. I get the severe rage, irritability, impulsivity, agitation etc.. In fact, I'm usually pretty destructive. Like, I literally destroy things. For example, I intentionally smashed my phone in February of this year when I was in an agitated depression. I did it out of rage. Then I started kicking things and smashing them because I went on a rampage!
