I live with BP 1 and am reliably hypomanic every spring, and usually in the early autumn. I haven't had a full-blown manic episode in over three years thanks to meds. I get depressed in the late summer when the angle of the sunlight is lower, and of course winter is nasty. I have an artificial light that helped me through this past winter and I never did get seriously depressed.
