Thanks KinkyGuy, that really helps. Seeing it mapped out makes it easier for me to understand.

Best wishes, Gayle

It's stuff like this that makes me question whether I don't just have depression. My upper line wouldn't be that much above baseline, but my down is right there with BPII. :/ Useful information!

Thanks, I love graphs! I am diagnosed with depression with anxiety. I think I am cyclothymic when I'm medicated. (aka "meds not working that well)

So you get the same / or more hypomania but not as depressed in this disorder
I didn't realize that

Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand

I am sorry the meds don't work. don't give up, I know someone who took 2-years of trying to finally hit the mark.
