I'm rapid cycling and it drives me nuts. I get episodes every 1-2 months.

It's completely my fault, though. I'm non-compliant with meds. I take them one week, but don't take them the next. On and off, on and off, on and off...

A large part is denial. I think there is nothing wrong with me, so I go off my meds. Then when an episode hits, *BAM*, I remember that I have bipolar. Anyone else relate?
