hi you guys,
Atypical depression is the type of depression bipolar folks have. (I slept for 3 days straight once on the low part of my rapid cycling. I only woke up every 20 hours or so to pee and let the dog out to pee. If I could have stayed up any longer than this, it would have been to binge eat.)
Even if you don't go manic, you are probably closer on the continum towards being bipolar.
Also, there is a strong connection between rapid cyclers and thyroid problems.
Also, most rapid cyclers are women.
Even if you aren't rapid cycling you could be cycling.
I kept a mood journal to discover all my cycles. I have a 24 hour cycle, a weekly cycle, a monthly cycle and an annual cycle. Once you identify your cycles, they are easier to treat.
just a few facts on cycling depression.
remember, I am not a medical person, and could be off on a detail or two. Janice
