I was depressed for months and months (bp plus postpartum), if not on and off for a year or more (from my pregnancy also)--but always in an altered mood state. My therapist was really worried about me after a session and said she would put out an miw on me if I wasn't evaluated. Well, I was able to say I wouldn't walk out of there and commit suicide so they did not require me to go inpatient but instead had me do an IOP. This was only 3 1/2 weeks ago. Well last Friday I started feeling better and last Saturday I had an epiphany during a long shower that I should stop taking my meds for spiritual reasons, it was such a passionate experience and I was elated. Since then I have had a strong spiritual connection that typically comes with mania for me. I am definitely not manic, I am just not sure if I am either feeling better from the IOP and therefore have energy or if I am hypomanic. My hubs says definitely hypomanic.
Anyway, anyone else have such a drastic change in mood (especially from suicidal to wonderful) in such a short time? I'm not typically a rapid cycler if that is what this is. I keep worrying that once this IOP ends I will plummet again.

Last year I definitely switched extremely. I would start the day after a couple of weeks of depression and I'd want to die...then by the pm I would be bouncing of the walls and head right into mania for the next two weeks. Then back again. It was awful. Never knew who I would be when I woke up :-/

I'm in an IOP and it definitely has not brought out any feelings like this. Sounds like hypomanic if you're sure you're not manic. I know a med change brought me out of a year long black depression
