Trina, cycling refers to the emotional ups and downs and how fast they happen. We all cylce, bipolar or not. A person with bipolar can cycle at any given rate, miniutes, hours, days, weeks, years and so on. I have seen my wife cycle from extreme mania to extreme deperssion within miniutes. During one doctors visit she was extremely unstable and displayed multiple different (5 or 6 I think) emotional states within a fifteen miniute period (she went from the docs office to the hospital that day). I have also gone back and traced her cycles from high mania to high mania prior to diagonsis in 3 year cycles between peaks. Try and doccument the cycles if you can, in a journal or such. Taking this to the doctor and showing it to them can help the doc in regulating the cycling. God Bless RED |
