Predicting cyclothymia?!


Question: Predicting cyclothymia!?
is it possible that with cyclothymia that you can predict it like clockwork!? i believe my husband may have this!. every month around the 21-27 he goes through this!. everything will be fine, planning for the future, sent me flowers, etc and then all of a sudden he will find something i said and attack me for it and it eventually evolves into wanting to wanting a divorce within a matter of minutes!. or he'll just start making little jabs at me to start a fight!. then within a few days he will go back to normal like nothing ever happened!. but ive been paying attention and i can almost predict when its going to happen and there seems to be nothing i can do to prevent it!. i love him and would support him, but im not sure how to help him!.

Could be predictable for you for a while, but dont count on it!. If you are paying attention may also notice signs of going into an episode!.

See the BIPOLAR SUPPORTER website, in section 10, at http://www!.ezy-build!.net!.nz/~shaneris (read the whole section, page O first) and create a mood chart for him, but if he is bipolar, it is a sign that his treatment needs revising!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
