Well, here it is, the opening statement on this forum for people with Cyclothymia. Hello!

I'm 38. I've had mood troubles since I was 14, and aware that this meant some kind of bipolar disorder since I was 23. I was dealing with it okay until I was 29 and faced big stressful events (my dad came down with cancer, I had a baby). Then the swings became less manageable. Last year I was diagnosed with Cyclothymia.

Last week was the anniversary of my diagnosis. I asked my pdoc to go over the year's records and give another diagnosis. He said Cyclothymia, so it is official. This description fits me so much better than Bipolar II.

Hanging out at Bipolar sites I always feel I do not fit in, my symptoms are mild in comparison to so many of the others. So I decided to start up a forum for Cyclothymia myself and see if this will meet my criteria for support.

I am hoping for a positive place where we can all come and hang out with our daily cares and worries.

One thing's for sure, it should be a swingin' place.
