Hello. I'm new to psychcentral forums and also believe I'm closer to cyclothymia than other diagnoses. In early stages of learning about Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy based on recommendations of my therapist.

I appreciate your starting this thread, bbTofu, and really relate to the mood swings.

30 years ago in therapy, my counselor and psychiatrist thought I might be bipolar. Eventually they decided I wasn't also, bbTofu. There was really no research or specific treatment for cyclothymia then.

I've ordered The Cyclothymia Workbook from Amazon to help track my moods and look forward to incremental improvement once it arrives.

I'm so glad I found this place. More later.
