I went about a rolling 18 months worth of “ true definition” of rapid cycling. It really to me was more a medication issue, some meds didn’t help or made matters worse, some the side effects were not tolerable. It took a long time finding a good balance back then.

My mood can vary through out a day , some because I have lots of chronic pain ... or just because I might be bored and just unmotivated and it have nothing to do with Bipolar.

We can all experience a full range of emotions and it not have a single thing to do with Bipolar.
