If you’re new to bipolar disorder lingo- there are two kinds of mania: Euphoric (we all love it when it first starts!) and the dreaded dysphoric mania, also known as agitated mania.<\/p>\n

I’m what’s known as an ultradian rapid cycler. I rarely go more than a few days without a mood swing and sometimes have four or five mood swings a day. It’s unpleasant.<\/p>\n

But I’ve never had a lot of dysporic mania which is probably why I missed this off and on six week episode.<\/p>\n

For weeks I said I was unhappy, miserable, bored, worn out and sick of my work. I kept saying, \u201cI just want to get out of here. I want to leave Portland. I\u2019ve got to get on a plane and leave this awful life!\u201d My therapist said, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen you this bad Julie. You\u2019re negative about everything. This isn\u2019t you!\u201d I said, \u201cYes, it is. You don\u2019t understand. I\u2019ve got to get out of here!\u201d
\nA week ago I woke up and felt truly stable.\u00a0 I simply got out of bed and did my thing without a struggle and that\u2019s when it hit me.<\/p>\n

It was dysphoric mania \u2013 sneaky and deadly.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad it\u2019s over. And I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t get on a plane like I have so many times in the past.<\/p>\n
