Looks like we answered at the same time. In response to your question, for the most part I don't cycle that often. I've very rarely ultra or ultra ultra rapid cycled unless I was put on a bad medication (i.e. an antidepressant for me). I do have zippier or slower days than others in a week, but I don't count them as bipolar cycling unless they are quite notable. When I do cycle more significantly, it's usually for several days or weeks at a time. I do have mixed episodes more than I like, but the simultaneous type. Not the switching up and down type. There was a two-year period when I had four or five major episodes in a year (still refered to as "rapid cycling"). That was my worst. One year I was either in the hospital or IOP more than not.

Q: What was your favorite age? And why?
