I have ultra-radian cycling - which basically means that I cycle extremely quickly within a short period of time. I can cycle as many as 5 or more times in one day. It does make me feel like I have lost the plot at times. I mostly swing within the high moods and mixed - but sometimes the low ones pop up. Today I have been swinging wildly. I couldn't even keep a count of how many times I have cycled from one mood to another. Many times today I have broken down into tears. Then I am happy again. I Have been like this for three years. At most, 1 month is the longest period I have been stable. Stability to me is almost like a foreign language.
My Pdoc said that my type of Bipolar is extreme and that she is afraid to adjust my medications as I am on the max of my Seroquel and and very high dose of lithium and epilim. She says she is afraid that is she takes me off one of them to try another - that I will get very ill very quickly.
I am just fed up with it all. It's grand when I am feeling high - but this cycling drives me nuts. Can anyone relate?
