Next Mood Swing in 6 Minutes
April 8, 2008 6:30 pm Mood Swings, Rapid Cycling, Work and Bipolar DisorderI saw this on a bumper sticker. I had to laugh. That is the epitome of rapid cycling bipolar disorder.
I have had so many mood swings in a day they were hard to count. I look at my mood chart and the thing looks like and EEG- or is it EKG! I should know the difference between the two!
I’m not having rapid cycling like I used to. It shows up sometimes, but when I’m in crisis it’s all day long.
I have been stable for almost a month now. This is the longest stability I have had in six years. I am thankful because I can finally work.

I’d love to see a glossary on this site so that when I don’t know the meaning of a phrase such as “rapid cycling” I could quickly look it up.

I’d love and opinion on pharmaceutical grade fish-oil and B-complex. Can they be alternatives to drugs like depakote, wellbutrin, abilify and zyprexa?
Thanks for any info!

I can’t find much information on your site for Bipolar 1 mixed. I rapid cycle daily too but I also can be depressed and manic at the same time. Did I miss it?
