A member asked:
If you're really experiencing hypomania, can you get depressed at night and wake up next morning hypomanic again?

Yes: A person may have a variant of bipolar disorder known as rapid cycling, in which he or she experiences changing between highs and lows very quickly. It's important to discuss this with your psychiatrist and make sure you are receiving the proper treatment to stabilize this condition.
