Could I have Cyclothymia?!
Question: Could I have Cyclothymia!?
I've been wondering for awhile now why my moods are so fluctuating, but I know they're not strong enough to qualify for Bipolar disorder!. When I heard about Cyclothymia, I started wondering if maybe I have it!. Does this sound like Cyclothymia, or just hormones and whatnot (I'm 18 years old):
Sometimes I feel pretty down; I think I don't have a bright future, I have really low self esteem, etc!. Basically sort of like depression except for milder!.
Sometimes I am in a great mood, almost euphoric!. I think everything is amazing, I'm very happy, I think everything will be great!.
I can also tend to talk fast sometimes, and not be able to stop talking!.
I can be a bit impulsive, at least in what I say or do which usually isn't like me!.
My self confidence does fluctuate between feeling really low about myself to feeling really good about myself!.
Sometimes there is nothing more I want to do then just be by myself, and sometimes I really want to be with other people!.
As stated before, I'm either overly optimistic or overly pessimistic!.
And sometimes I'm just normal!.
However, I'm starting to notice that I'm only ever in one of those three moods, and none lasts very long!. I can go straight from feeling depressed to feeling really euphoric, and the other way around!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
