My friends have, mostly jokingly, in the past suggested that I might be bipolar. I've looked into it before, and it kinda seemed to fit, but more recently, my sister, who is studying psychology at uni, told me about rapid cycling bipolar, and after some online reading, it seems to be making sense.

When I went to the doctor about my mood swings., I attempted to explain feeling unstable all the time and like I never really had a normal mood. I have since collected some stuff I've found about rapid cycling bipolar disorder, such as this = "continuous" cycling, which means that you never have a normal mood period: you cycle directly from one mood state into another with no normal mood.

But I don't feel like anyone takes me seriously. And I know bipolar is a difficult and serious thing to diagnose. But she prescribed me vitamin B, which did nothing, and said I could come back in the new year so we could discuss antidepressants. I'm not depressed, at least not in the traditional sense. I'm seventeen, I'm meant to be sitting A-Levels and going off to uni soon; this is a hard enough year as it is without being unable to cope with pendulum mood swings, all the time. I don't know what to do. I'm sorry for descending into whininess. I used to love this place; I remember everyone being very supportive and very lovely. Thank you for reading.
