So my therapist has suggested yet another theory for my diagnosis: cyclothymic disorder. It's defined as "a mild form of bipolar disorder, characterized by alternating episodes of mood swings from mild or moderate depression to hypomania. Hypomania is defined as periods of elevated mood, euphoria, and excitement that do not cause the person to become disconnected from reality." I personally don't think I need a diagnosis. As one website says:

"The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning."

And I honestly don't feel this is the case for me. My mood definitely goes from happy and up to down and lethargic, but I think this happens to other people too, and it's nothing I can't handle at this point. Maybe people are just too nice to say anything, but generally I think I keep my weirdness away from most people. Generally I can reason my way out of my down moods, and I can keep them away by just keeping busy with friends. I notice the more time I spend with people the better I feel. At this point I think that whatever, if anything, I have is not harming myself or anyone else, so I say let it be. Why are we so attached to naming things? Maybe I'm just in denial, or maybe I just dislike being told I have a "disorder". If you've seen "You, Me and Dupree" then you'll understand it's just my Clover-ness. And I like who I am, mood swings and all. Who wants to be the same all the time? So live and let live.
