my cycle only allows me one week of mania. trying to get the right meds so it can even out, but in the meantime, it was only one week. i did everything that i can't do when im depressed, i ran, i cleaned, i cooked, and then i woke up, like time work, and it was ripped away from me. i woke up hating the world, and i hated it for taking my energy away that i so desperately wanted to keep. how can it ever feel like it will get better if i can time my moods accurately and i only get one week of "happy" every three months?
so frustrated.

My cycles are very quick too. It is frustrating to only get euphoria for a week at best, isn't it? Of course now being medicated I haven't had the euphoria in months.

I hear you... I seem to cycle quickly... a week of euphoric happy and then i slowly crash right after which will last weeks. Then quiet and then right back up, and bam... almost like a pms cycle....in reverse that never ends.... I hope they find a miracle for us all. Thank you for your posts. I no longer feel so alone. XO

I definitely stay in my deep dark depression way more than my mania. And with the meds it has practically stolen my happy euphoric energy, not that it hasn't gotten me in trouble before. I used to be able to take on the world then crash into my black hole. I don't even have that to really look forward to anymore. At least few and far in between. It seems so hard to treat the depression side of bipolar.
