This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
i am a rapid cycler... have been for over 12 years altho i think my definition may differ from the norm. some days my mind races so much and i go from manic to depressed, manic to depressed a million times a day. i have a different emotion every 5 minutes, wether its happy, sad, angry, rage, then happy and calm again.... but this only occurs every so often when i call these my "bad head days". im on meds and for the most part my moods are stable. its just every so often, my head malfucnctions and i get a "glich" and my moods are all over the place. does this happen to anyone where most of the time you're fine then ever so often you get a day where you just feel crazy and out of control?? where you think you're mind is just racing and you can't stop it? this one doctor tried to tell me i wasn't bipolar i was just moody. any thoughts?

sometimes I think being "normal" would be completely boring, don't you?

There is an ultra ultra rapid cycling called ultradian, but you should also ask your pdoc about Borderline Personality Disorder.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
