I always thought it was a myth, saying people with BP fluctuate between emotions rapidly. I thought that was only rapid cyclers.

But looking back on it I have two examples of this happening to me.

1). When getting assessed by a court ordered psychiatrist, I was switching between laughing and crying instantaneously.

2). When drunk sometimes people say I'm really nice then really mean within seconds, for no reason.

Is this just me?

I do seem moody in general, too. But again, my main problem is weather and stress induced mania and depression.

So is the idea that we switch so fast a misconception? Or does it apply to non rapid cyclers too?
