Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Ok So I have always wondered if i was bipolar as a child... and i journaled alot and told myself i would wait untill i was done with being a teen because you know hormones or what not.... and than as i got older i learned more about bi polar and learned that it is so extreme... like psychosis, and major depression.... and for me its never extreme
whatever it is or i am... I am up and happy and elated like running around wanting to hug strangers almost screaming in happiness, moving always moving, and talking to every stranger with a smile on my face always saying people must be jelous because i KNOW people dont get as happy as me....
than like i almost feel it comming on like a dark cloud, and like i want to fight it and i cant and everything is just like blah... I dont realy care about anthing, and everything is just sort of there... and like i get irritated... and sometimes depending on how bad it is i do just get so god damn sad
but like i read about bi polar and non of that realy fit in, and also there periods are supposed to be separated... but my switches can happen in the same day!
so i alwasy just thought ok nevermind not bipolar....
but i just recently spoke with a friend and he was talking about cyclothymia and everything he was saying i was just saying yes eys yes yes thats ME! but im still not sure because what about the transition from the ups and the downs
like can it happen in the same time
for me its almost litteraly night and day like day im happy elated excited crazyness and night its jsut sigh down sadness wanna cry
and there is like normal in there to im not like up down up down, but im very very up down alot.... so yah is there anyone with cyclothymia... is this what it seems like..... I dont know i just sort of always just thought i was strange adn when i found out about this i got so happy because i am either this... or at least i know there may be something i have not heard of out there that i am .....

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
If you are switching that quickly and it doesn't remain one thing for at least some days it's possibly something else..maybe Borderline Personality disorder.
But whatever, no one can diagnose you here, you would bneed to see a psychiatrist.
I have highs and lows in the same day
I dont get as UP as you but I do get VERY bad extended lows. So Im waiting to see if my shrink moves me to BP2.
What you're saying sounds like at the very least you need to talk to someone.
btw it's a psychiatrist you need to see. Most therapists can't diagnose this...and if they can..they can't do the prescribing you need.
