Thanks for sharing that. I've never met anyone who had cyclothymia. Most people have never heard of it!

I think the difference is the severity of the depression, and that both have hypomania rather than full blown mania. Need to check that. Just curious.

You look really young, much younger than me. My symptoms got much worse in my mid forties -- hormonal, I'm sure. Something to watch out for.

Thanks so much!
