I am responding. It is a great question. I too have really bad rapid cycling. Not just the four required in the DSM V but at least 15 and then when mixed it can be several times a day. It can be hell. What I try to do is; first keep safe, second enjoy the mild hypomania's without causing myself or others any trouble, such as cleaning my house, car or organising everything; when mildly depressed I make myself stick to a routine which often helps me out of it. However, once the depression, hypomania or mixed get too much to handle I immediately contact my pdoc to nip it in the bud before it gets dangerous.
I hope that is what you were looking for. I am hypomanic right now so I tend to rant.
