Hi tina,
yes, that's called ultra rapid cycling. Some people with this get misdiagnosed with Borderline personality disorder.
I once worked with a man that cycled every 24 hours. Every second day, he was cheerful and pleasant, and every other day, everyone tried to stay far away from him as possible. A depressed person + a rather mean natural temperment + alot of power = an a**hole was the general consensus in the office.
Rages are pretty common in bipolar (me, me, me!).
Like Scott said, I'd keep track of your moods and your sleep to see if you notice any patterns.
Tina, You may also want to look into ADD/ADHD - raging and pacing fits could also be symptoms in this disorder, so would depression.
Good luck, Janice
I agree with Judy about the anti-depressants.
