Yes this^

This is what my Pdoc goes by. I have “ rapid cycled” a few times over the years which are defined as more than 4 episodes and minimum of at least 7 days each of up or down in a rolling calendar year.

I have had times were I was up down and all around in a single day.. It was just fact that I was unstable and we beat the bushes trying to find the right meds to level me out.

Ain’t Bipolar life grand lol
