Can you go from one state to the next in a short phone conversation? What triggers your change....something someone says? Thank you in advance for your input.

There doesn't have to be a trigger. Bi-polar can change abruptly. However, talking about something that triggers a bad memory can cause it. The hard thing is that no one will know that a simple statement has started the ball rolling.,

YES! YES! YES! YES! I am bipolar and I will have the most wonderful day and out of nowhere start crying then at night be hyper and out of control. When I was younger before my condition was under control I was so hyper and I would have random sex and then be severly depressed. I have been on SO many meds. The worst is lithium. NEVER go to lithium. I experienced massive weight gain and massive hair loss and I was lethargic. The best I've been on is the one I'm on now. Lamictal 200 mg. This really controls the mood swings. I don't think anything completely helps but girl, this stuff really controls it. But yes, you're definitely right. You will go from hyper to sad in a split second or sad to hyper. That's what bipolar is.

my first one was caused by an enormous amount of built up stress that was coming from different sources; it felt like i was walking on thin nice and could see a catastrophy coming at any moment; i basically had a nervous breakdown, and my system was out of wack ever since

For me it can be stress or something that someone says that is mean. We tend to be very sensitive and things that people say hurt more than they would a non bipolar.

what you are talking about is a "sub-diagnois" of bipolar - there is rapid cycling which means that you cycle through 4 or more episodes of depression or mania in a year ....then there is ultra-rapid cycling which means you can change in a matter of days, housr, even minutes
