Hi BTG,

Cyclothymic disorder can be very frustrating. If your moods are fluctuating that dramatically in a matter of hours, for no apparent reason, you would probably want to have your condition stablilised. Are you being treated for it, and do you have a good support network?

Hopefully someone who suffers from it will come along and say "Hi", so that the 2 of you can compare experiences.

Neverhteless, most people here have experience with mood disorders of some sort, predominantly depression, so I am sure they will understand how you are feeling, and will be able to give you a lot of support.

Best wishes,
Chrys.

Hi BTG I was married to a bipolor lady(15YRS) and now I am living with another one(3YRS). You should be treated. I am sure you know that many famous people have been bipolar(search the net) This can be treated! good luck!
