I used to have a hypomania starting the last week of Juily-first week of August but I've avoided that the last few years. I've had severe depressions the last 2 winters and so we're going into it this time with a plan to stop it before it starts.

Does your cycling change with time? Mine seems to be lessening with age (not that I didn't have that severe depression but it's so much better than numerous cycles per year)?
