Yeah I have disorder called "Cyclothymic Disorder" Its a disorder where you experience really HIGH manic episodes and you quickly within, minutes or hours you drop down into a deep depressed mood and than you start feelin REAL high again like your chasing stars and than you drop back down to depression within minutes. Its a super rare disorder. My doctor told me only 0.1% to 0.4% of the population has this disorder. It sucks because you wanna feel that good all the time but than your brain goes into that shit storm again. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And it also blows because you can't really talk to anybody about it that understands you know. It can also cripple relationships pretty easily studies have shown.

Cyclothymia is a variant of bipolar disorder....and usually the mood swings are days to weeks......

Swinging between moods as quickly as you describe is called ultradian cycling---and is very rare.

There's also a heavy overlap with borderline personality, in which a person has problems with the prefrontal cortex----basically their body runs away with their emotions, as they have almost no breaks.....

There is another thing that could explain your symptoms.....I experienced very rapid super high and low mood swings for almost a year, and they cycled from high to low within minutes to a few days........it turned out my body has a lot of allergies I didn't know I had, and I'm also going to be tested for celiac disease---which is autoimmune, and not quite an allergy......


If I were you, I'd get a referral to see an allergist....we have no idea how much the foods we eat affect our moods....

This sounds almost exactly like me. I do seem to run with my emotions SO MUCH. Omg, and it kind of effects how I make my decisions with people and friends. My moods really do effect my actions and such. My moods do cycle. I wouldn't say my personality changes but my moods change dramatically in short periods of time.

Any history of mood swings in the family?

Ever have significant head trauma? Ever have a brain scan?

Yes, my mother, younger sister, older sister and older brother. We all have chemical imbalances in our big heads

It's possible you could have one, the other, both, or something else.......

But borderline personality is extremely dramatic....

and while seeing a therapist I told them I was going to blow away Einstein-
Like a murder or with some obscure thought?

Took me two minutes to take a joke from a member here and use it as an excuse to lash out on them...

On top of the panic attack I had earlier? Wow. Enough internet for me today.

Sorry Aspie I almost attacked you for being funny. :(
