I’ve been living with bipolar 2 disorder, also known as ultra rapid cycling bipolar 2, for the past few years and it has had a huge impact on my life. I’ve gone through periods of depression where I felt completely empty, numb and unable to enjoy the things that once brought me positive feelings. On the other side, I’ve had episodes of high-energy mania which were often chaotic and resulted in impulsive behavior.
Living with ultra rapid cycling has been a challenge, but I have made it to the point where I am learning to better manage my condition. The key for me was getting connected to mental health professionals who put together a treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. This included medications to help with mood stabilization and psychotherapy that helped give me insight into my triggers and symptoms. Now when things start going awry I can recognize it more quickly and know what steps I need to take next.
Having this support system has been invaluable in helping me live a productive life despite the challenges posed by ultra rapid cycling bipolar 2 disorder. It hasn’t always been easy and there are still hard days despite all that I’m doing—but now I recognize that these struggles are part of living with this illness, instead of something unique or unusual. That shift in attitude gives me courage as I keep advocating for myself and making changes that continue empowering my path forward.
