I rapid cycle over the year with distinct episodes, around four episode events in total each year. However, last week I was clearly euphoric hypomanic during the day and severe suicidal manic at night. This happened for about a week and no med fixed the cycling. This type of cycling is not common to me but I do always have mood shifts during the days of my episodes but not actual cycling.

I feel for you Blue. I feel despair over my longer cycles. They seem inevitable and untouchable by meds. However, meds do seem to ease my episodes at times and perhaps shorten them thus giving me more stable time. How much stable time do you get? It doesn't sound like much. Maybe a med adjustment or review by new pdoc will help. (((Blue)))
