Hi -
> and have felt fit as a flea all day.You must be speaking English here! I've never heard that one before :)
I don't know anything about BP cycling, so this may be totally useless to you. But... 6 weeks isn't really that long, and I don't know how long this relationship lasted. I know I sometimes got sad 2 or 3 months after a breakup.
What I really relate to though, is feeling sad and crying on Saturday (Sundays too). I think it's because there's not as much of a routine on the weekend. I'm not having to hurry to get things done, keeping my mind preoccupied. And it just seems that there's less going on - not as much people traffic and things seem very quiet. Of course, as I was writing that, loud music started playing outside!! Summer festival season, the truly detestable summer festival. <sigh>
I don't know if any of that fits for you, but I can remember having problems on the weekend going all the way back to when I was a pre-teen.
> So why, about an hour ago, was I crying again over my ex bf? I do miss him, that's for sure, but it's been 6 weeks since the breakup and last weekend, Friday and Saturday, I felt really sad and weepy as well, following a few days of feeling great. I feel so silly for this! I know it's okay to feel sad, but why so suddenly, and why Saturdays? He has been on my mind a lot lately, almost constantly, but I can normally keep that in check... apart from the rare wave of sadness like today's.

> I even got some photos out and thought: Wow, he's not a handsome chap at all, is he... (naughty Kalyb!) but that didn't make me feel any happier.

> Am I experiencing a type of BP cycling? If so, then I'm not getting major highs, and I've certainly had much worse lows.... but should I be getting *any* lows on Effexor (or any AD)? or is it the meds just settling down? Today's little weep was not as profound as last week's...
