I know it’s not great to self-diagnose but I had a therapist who told me I had a “mood disorder” of some kind, but she couldn’t even figure out what exactly it is because I’m not fully consistent with anything.

My symptoms go through cycles, it seems, in the same way that bipolar does, but they’re not consistent with bipolar symptoms because I don’t ever have manic symptoms. I basically fluctuate between extreme depression, extreme anxiety, and then sometimes extreme euphoria.

Like I said, it’s never really “manic” and sometimes the phases last anywhere from several hours to several weeks. It’s basically just a cycle of severe mood swings. But they’re EXTREME.

I know self-diagnosis is not great but just want to know that I’m not alone and honestly having a diagnosis would make me feel so much better because I would know i actually have *something* and I’m not just completely crazy 😣 I have been diagnosed with anxiety and with OCD and honestly having a true diagnosis always gives me a huge sense of relief.

Anyone relate to this, or do my symptoms remind anyone of any actual disorder they’ve ever heard of.....?
