RN, I am trying to figure that out too! I'm thinking some kind of exercise on a stationary bike. I'm sure that I'm wrong.

Right now, I'm Bipolar II and it's a really fun thing I struggle with. Ultradian cycling is actually the better term to describe what I sometimes go through. LINK Unofficially, psychiatry recognizes ultrarapid cyclers (occurring every few days) and ultradian cycling (occurring during the course of a day). Unfortunately, there is virtually no data providing insight into clinical distinctions, much less treatment. We do know that rapid-cyclers are more difficult to treat and that they are particularly sensitive to mood triggers, from bad encounters at work or with family to medications side effects to being overstimulated to too much caffeine to losing a night's sleep. We also know that rapid-cycling is more prevalent in those with bipolar II, that hypothyroidism is associated with rapid-cycling, and that more women rapid-cycle than men. It's really sucky and my meds don't seem to be helping it very much lately. This is the worst I have felt in about 2 years.

It's like going from feeling completely at ease, in control, and even happy, to complete despair and feeling that life is hopeless several times over the course of the day. It is nothing like a normal mood change.

Right now, thanks everyone. I'm fighting "poster's regret" at the moment in bringing this here, because I'm kind of embarrassed, but I do greatly appreciate everyone's kindness.

RIGHT NOW I HATE ITCHY HIVES! I've had a few hives for two weeks now, and had just gotten them somewhat under control with internal and external meds, and they had almost disappeared - and this morning I woke up very itchy again, with a new batch of hives. Dangitall! The dermatologist I saw on Wednesday agreed they are definitely stress-related. Oh joy, oh bliss. (extreme sarcasm here) I just took 2 benedryl caplets and they should knock me out shortly. A lovely way to spend a gorgeous, sunny Sunday afternoon, in a medicated stupour, asleep. And that's if I'm lucky and the meds work. Sigh.

RN, have to do a little edit of the above...it will be "Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines." I wasn't aware that there are actually 3 females in the field today! I need to pay more attention to important things like that!

RN We just got home from house touring and late lunch. Saw a couple of houses we liked but nothing that rocked my boat. I think we'll keep looking.
