A couple of weeks ago, when in the chat room, I was explaining to someone that lately I was going up and down like a yo-yo, no rhyme nor reason to it, just happy-go-lucky one moment, feeling terrible the next, anxious, happy, sad, vibratingly energetic, lethargic, confused, totally clear-headed -- the whole gamut. I was told this is called rapid cycling. My question: anyone got any ideas on how long it can last? I have been feeling like I am on a real slippery slope downward, but there keeps on being times when I feel either like nothing at all is the matter, or I cycle thru the entire list mentioned above. It's really getting to me. It's been going like this for at least a few weeks now. I almost feel like I would be better off depressed completely. I've been short-tempered, easily offended, but also emphatically empathetic. Oh yeah, I left out running off at the mouth.

I honestly have no idea what the hell I am talking about at the moment but I welcome any comments.
