Hi,
I just recently was diagnosed with Cyclothymia...I'm still having trouble accepting that that's what this is. From what other people have said about Cyclothymia, mine seems to be a little different; for one, mine only usually lasts a day or so for each the depression and hypomanic aspect.
Also, the aspect about being more creative is only somewhat true for me. When I am hypomanic, I have tons and tons of ideas but no focus to sit down and work on anything. When I'm depressed, I simply don't feel up to working on music, and if I do work on something, I immediately decide that it sucks.
Another thing is that when I'm really depressed, like at the lowest point in my depression (which only lasts about a night usually) my arm starts to shake, and there are voices in my head that make it hard to hear what people around me are saying to me...but I can't usually make out most of what the voices are saying..it's just a big bunch of noise.
I don't know if I actually have Cyclothymia or something else. Does anyone else have similar symptoms to these??
