I almost cried watching this. I have never related to a video as much as this one. Trying to figure out if I have cyclothymia. I am almost 21 years old and since I have ASD my parents are very overbearing and claim I am not bipolar/cyclothymic and I misinterpret everything. but I know myself better than my parents know me and I have been doing research and I am 90 percent sure I have it. I cannot get diagnosed and the help I need since I am on my parents' insurance and they will not help me get what I need and cannot drive either to get where I need :/ Glad you are doing well!

Oh, that must be so difficult for you and I'm so sorry. I'm also sorry for taking forever to reply to you, and I wholeheartedly hope that you have found more understanding and had someone truly listen to you and help you now. You deserve to receive the help and support you need ❤

You are such a Beautiful and Brave Girl! Your story really resonates with me. I lost my mom and sister, I struggle socially. I was just diagnosed with Cyclothymia last month, but I’ve had it my whole life. It feels so good to have a true diagnosis and be on the right medications for it. I finally have a reason to exist. Good Luck to you!

What medication are you on if I may ask. I was also diagnosed and was on Topomax, although it worked it made me feel dumb and affected my job. Need help finding the right medication, mental health care in my country is poor.

Thank you so much for this kind comment! I've also dealt with loss and struggled so much with making friends and having lasting connections with people. It's tough to deal with those things on top of having your mind be a constant, unending rollercoaster. Congratulations on your diagnosis and finding the right medication! It's such a relief to finally receive the help you need, and to finally be able to better understand and be empathetic towards yourself through a diagnosis. Good luck to you too!!

I recently got diagnosed with cyclothymia, and I totally resonate with you!!! You are brave and strong for being open. It's a relief to know I'm not the only one who feels the way you described

You are such a strong person! I’m proud of you for talking about this. And encouraging people with your story! Big big hugs!

thank you for your video, i really feel similar to you so its feels good to know im not alone... ( ive been diagnosed in the same conditions as you and loves the same things as you ) You look like you're an amazing person keep on going ! you got this

Proud of you ❤️always here supporting you on your journey, thanks for being an inspiration!!

I appreciate your explanation and experience. I am trying to figure out what my brain is doing and I’ve been researching cyclothymia and it feels like I may have found one is going on. So, thank you for doing a hard thing and sharing your experience.

I was just diagnosed today and found your video and channels. I noticed you haven’t posted in over a year. I hope you’re okay! ❤️

I used this year and last to wake up and have good days energetic and happy and bad deprssed days...they say its just depression I dont know what to do...I feel I was misdiagnosed...can cyclothymia turn into major depression?I feel so confused for 2 years

Hi! thanks for sharing that, is very helpful. I have a dear friend who is been diagnosed with Cyclohtymia and i am trying hard to understand her. If you can help me understand some of it is very appriciated, i do care a lot for this person! I would like to know if there can be some sort of manipulative behaviour due to hypomania, and cognitive distortion when depress or feel attacked. Meaning she has the tendency to manipulate and push people arround to obtain favours (she is awere of that), also she would somethimes lie about facts or sligtly distort them, when under pressure, confronted or mad at me. Is this something you are familiar with? Thank you again

As far as I know that's not a sign of cyclothymia, probably her way of coping. Or she could have the wrong diagnosis or another one. There's also people who have both bipolar and borderline personality disorder. I am not saying that's it, but the manipulation I think isn't a sign of cyclothymia. You could always Google it or ask her.

@@writerwannabe8778 thanks for your feedback. i did ask to few friends psychologist and it turned out to be like you said some personality disorder. Tendency to adopt lies, controlling behaviour and manipulation as strategy to relate to problems and people, do to lack of empathy and difficulty in conceptualizing the other. It can be a consequence of bipolar issue, if the person doesnt develope better problem solving strategies, self extime ar emotional regulation skills. I can see now how difficult it is to cope with all that

I HAVE CYCLOTHYMIA ! Girl!

I struggle a lot socially too. It’s sucks.

Do you ever feel neutral?

Hey dear, thank you so much for sharing, you are incredibly brave, strong and beautiful! It's been a while since you posted this, how have you been coping recent years? How are you now?

I thought cyclothymia would not go so deep down, sounds like your depression was a full blown one.

cyclothymia does not determine shallower depressions, but rather shallower manic phases called hypomania ONLY. You can have very severe depression, but if you do not experience full blown mania in which you experience psychosis, then you are cyclothymic, not bipolar.

@@zXJulianXz This is incorrect. You just described bipolar 2. You can have cyclothymia with very severe depression but that would mean you have "double depression". As in a depression on top of the depression from your cyclothymia.
