If you were asking about me in particular, my rhythm without medication is a month or two of normal mood, then about a week of depression, which switches suddenly to mania.

I'm normally extremely anxious when I'm in a depressed period, as well as disgusted by myself. I feel inadequate, think no one could ever love me, and I'm paranoid like woah (I'm these things on average, but it's to a ridiculous degree when I'm depressed. It's like being a teenager your whole life). I cry a lot. I was actually first diagnosed with depression because I broke down and cried for an hour in a counselor's office. I've never been suicidal, though.

When I'm manic, I'm happy, bubbly, and affectionate. I talk quickly and have a lot of energy. It freaks my family out, but most other people don't have much of a problem with the euphoria. Sometimes I'm just irritable. I make horrible decisions, I'm a reckless driver (I've been in six car accidents and only two couldn't be directly linked to a manic episode), and I shoplift. I feel invincible. It's not a noticeable problem to me, since the euphoria feels good, and I'm not aware of how inadvertently self-destructive it can make me.

These things are in the past, though, since I've gotten on steady medication. Now I'll have about one cycle a year, though my parents have the erroneous belief that any time I'm the least bit irritable or happy, I'm manic. Which fucking sucks.

Yeah, that's the thing about being mentally ill - any credibility you have goes completely out the window. People no longer believe that you have ANY ability to be accurately self-aware, and every legitimate reason you have for being happy, sad, or angry is replaced with a, "Are you sure you've taken your meds today?".

one of the reasons i'm reluctant to get an official diagnosis
