This use of bipolar has very little to do with the experience of most bipolar people. Bipolar rapid cycling is defined as four episodes per year, much closer to the change of the seasons than the change of weather from day to day.
Capricious is my favorite adjective, rather than trying to ascribe mental disorders to global systems. If you’re asking regarding a specific human, you should talk to a psychiatrist — if it is disruptive to their life, it may be a sign of borderline personality disorder.
appreciated, but it’s been a long time. my curiosity was not just to get a label for what they had, but also a reference for my own mental health should I notice any similarities in behavior.
mental health is an ocean and I’m but a single drop of water. sometimes it’s nice to know if my drop is freshwater or saltwater though.

What can I say, people love minimizing mental health issues and turning them into jokes.
what’s term for someone who has waaayyy more than four per year? like…four per week.

won’t matter much now since they’re dead 🤷
just curious though.
My condolences for your loss.
