rapid cycling bipolar disorder becomes something else:
cyclothymic disorder

Cyclothymic Disorder is a chronic bipolar disorder consisting of short periods of mild depression and short periods of hypomania. These symptoms may last a few days to a a number of weeks. The onset is separated by short periods of normal mood. Individuals with cyclothymia are never totally free of symptoms of either depression or hypomania for more than a number of months at a time. Diagnostic criteria is as follows:

Symptoms present fro at least 2 years, the patient has had periods of hypomanic symptoms and periods of low mood that don't fulfill the criteria for Major Depressive Disorder.

The longest period the patient has been free of mood swings is 2 months.

During the first 2 years of this disorder, the patient has not fulfilled criteria for Manic, Mixed, or Major Depressive Episode.

Schizoaffective disorder doesn't explain the disorder better, and it isn't superimposed on Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform Disorder, Delusional Disorder or Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.

The symptoms are not directly caused by a general medical condition or the use of any substances, including prescription medications.

These symptoms cause the patient clinically important distress or impair work, social or personal functioning

whats hypomania and do people with this disorder hear voices and see wierd stuff

and do they go weeks without sleep

My bipolar was no doubt caused by intoxocation (drugs and alcohol), trauma, depressants both dependancy and withdrawl, vitamin defficiency, major depression, flashbacks and panic attacks

if you get many of those things/give up some of the others will it go away

i dont think bipolar goes away its not like other depression disorders.
i know there is no medical cure for it
there are two forms of treatment, physiological, and psychotherapeutic.
they are not cures as there are none but they are treatments

well i know i am bipolar the more i read about it the more i realise i have it.
i might just have 1 big disorder that covers everything
i wish i did have just 1
i have too many
f*****g annoying

i hope i have somthing else and not scizophrenia

im not going to kill myself, i couldn't care less wether i have it or not

im going to kill myself
