Episodes of bipolar depression

Posted , 2 users are following.

I know that with bipolar that there is mania, hypomania, and depression and that someone with bipolar 1 transitions between the two/three.

What I wanted to ask is the transition period between mania and depression. For example if someone was having a manic mood for a while do they wake up the next day depressed or is there a buffer in between? People explain what each episode does to the individual but no one seems to explain how they transition from manic to depressive or vise versa. Thank you.

    I've never in the past been able to track the amount of time spent in each phase or the amount of time spent in transition. But this last time I am able to report I was depressed for 2 days then woke up the 3rd day feeling better - not euphoric but just normal and able to enjoy my daily routine. So there really wasnt any transition at all.
