Anyway through these years I have been suffering also from cyclothymic disorder and I highly suspect it was caused by the drugs (they turned cyclothymic temperament into cyclothymic disorder). Let's see how it goes from now. This disorder isn't always chronic (it's different from bipolar disorder). Since all of my symptoms started when I was abusing drugs, I suspect that they were stressors for my predisposition to cyclothymic disorder. In fact since I quit everything (five months ago) I only had two mood episodes and both were less intense than the ones I used to have and lasted only a couple days. I hope I won't experience symptoms anymore so I will be left only with ADHD that for me is way more manageable.

I often wonder if my heavy drug use when I was younger predisposed me to my bipolar. The PTSD is definitely separate. I still vape weed for my anxiety and have since before diagnosis. I've learned with medication and therapy to manage my symptoms pretty well.
