from the manic-depressive newsgroup: "Am I a rapid cycler"

I've been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, schizophrenia, and personality
disorder, but not with bipolar. Because I've recently moved I have my first
complete physical with my new MD on Feb. 7, and he'll have to work on
finding me a new pdoc. In the meantime I wonder if I've developed bipolar.

I bop between sullen wrath and elation. Although I've rarely been depressed
I have apparently neurochemical (i.e. not caused by real-life events)
episodes of peaceful inner rage at everything, followed within less than a
day, not by calm, but by a feeling of elation, again completely unrelated to
what might be happening in my material life. It's the elation that really
worries me and makes me think I'm bipolar. Anyone have some insights?
