trying to find info online isnt enough i would like to meet people with hypomania.

Cyclothymic disorder is a mild form of bipolar disorder in which a person has mood swings from mild or moderate depression to euphoria and excitement, but stays connected to reality. Lithium has been used for years in patients with bipolar disorder, and it may also help patients with cyclothymic disorder. Cyclothymic disorder may lead to full-blown bipolar disorder in some people, or it may continue as a chronic condition.

6months ago i was instituted never had any prior history or diagnosis.. very tramadic.. I thought everything was fine till everyone said i was not myself and was hyper and now I cant stop replaying those few weeks leading up to being hospitalized. to the point of i moved back home and lost all motivation. even to talk to friends or leave the house..I wanted to be famous one day and now dont want to even look in the mirror..

at the time yea i was hypomania but i am sure i was misdiagnosed. i am probably bipolar. funny thing is i wish that i could go back to that feeling i had before the hospital i felt so confident that things would be ok. now i see darkness because of the doctor and everyone telling me it was wrong being put on medicine..i had the best time of my life then. i have never been shy but now i just feel wrong about everything i think, and do. I am just plain quiet i for the first time ever to the point of recluse. just trying to figure out why

you know i really wanted the same doc who diagonsed me to continue being my doc. but he said he was only my doc. in the institution. Of course i was in denial of having a problem so before my meds ran out i went to another doc. told him what the institution diagnosed me with and he agreed I didnt have hypomania and was overmedicated so I got off the meds. The overmedicated (zombified) feeling hasnt left. I am extremely down for 5 months now. Never ever did I think I could be here I was always such a happy go getter. Now its like all of me has stopped the world still revolves. i didnt think this could happen to me.

it looks like you have a good handle on this but since i was invited and im here Im going to edit your post letting others know what ‘hypomania’ is. If you dont want it there you can edit,delete it or shout me or reply here and i will…..Im bi-polar by the way,if that helps in anyway. It sounds to me like it was the trauma that put you in this state and if you were in fact happier, more productive etc.. you can get it back, personally i would say go back to what you were doing b4 that happened and see what happens ,unless of course it was destructive in any way,then i would be wrong or perhaps partly wrong also, please take into consideration im human, not a professional and its just my opinion from my perspective.either way take your own good advice and see someone asap

I saw you edited this Kim and it’s better, but I think cyclothymic disorder is something between being bipolar and being hypomanic, isn’t it? I don’t exactly recall as it’s been a while since I did my research on it.

IDK, i just found this on netwellness.com. im sure if i googled another site it would probably just say something different thats the world of disorders etc.. nothing definite.ask 10 people ,get 10 diff answers :/ lets let the poster decide,shall we
