I am not at all expecting a diagnosis, but I have had many sudden mood shifts that are not terribly severe, but are infrequent. They can last from a few hours to a day or two. I have a change of self confidence relatively often and my interest in things changes. I have been able to stabilize myself. I can be aggressive, irritable, and have my highs and lows. I was curious if anyone who has Cyclothymia has similar reactions or feelings or if this is common. Any help is appreciated.

Hi s3b3701. Welcome to Psych Central (PC). I am sorry you have suffered from Cyclothymia. Many people here seek professional help like therapist or psychiatrist. Here is an article on coping with cyclothymia Understanding & Coping with Cyclothymia | Psych Central

You can also be an active member in other ways like supporting others in their questions, reading articles and posts http://forums.psychcentral.com that are applicable to your area of concern.

Please feel free to private message me or any of the Community Liaisons by left clicking on the name in blue to the left of their post) for questions or just to share.

For me lifestyle changes fit big in my recovery hopes.

I have to watch what I eat because foods I eat can stabilize my moods or exaggerate them. A high protein low carb diet with snacks or meals every 3-4 hours will over time reduce my swings. I also avoid alcohol and recreational drugs because those can really increase depression.

Other lifestyle changes that help me are doing yoga, exercises, mindfulness, calm music, and being active on Psych Central.
