Hypomania

Ithink I had hypomania ( for the first time ) for five days ( is it possible ? ) and it was followed by two short depression episodes in two weeks. strange?

P.S. The depression episodes was extremely severe. I was about to kill myself...

I'll talk with my doctor again. At last it's not a joke.

i know what its like when it seems no one is around. Try an have a better day

Sorry you are getting so little feedback.
I don't think there are any rules on how long episodes of mania or depression are, just as there's no rules on how deep or high we get.

I'm glad you are still with us.
Do look after yourself, and try to connect with the people around you.
Isolation makes my episodes bleak and hopeless.
Sometimes it is a real effort, but I'm glad when I have been out for a walk and coffee with a friend.

Even connecting here on the forum helps me.
So I'm pleased to see your post.

Take care,

It's not bipolar related. It's only recurrent brief depression. Well, now I know ...

" About 1/2 of patients fulfilling diagnostic criteria for RBD may have additional short episodes of brief hypomania which is a severity marker of RBD. "

What is RBD?

Recurrent Brief Depression
a form of recurrent depression which episodes are shorter 3-4 days only, but the episodes are severe and there are about ten in a year

Ahh ic. I'm sorry that this is causing you so much distress. Did you speak to your doctor about this? Is that why you stated,
