Is there any way to control these mood swings? How are others supposed to cope with them if not?
I have several friends who are bipolar two of whom suggested i am also, i certainly identify with the rapid cycling (bipolar 2) but is this just an ENFp trait?
I used to see a therapist who suggested i was bipolar, i was referred for assessment where i was told i may be bipolarbut they diagnosed me with episodic major depression because they had not personally (3 sessions of twenty minutes) witnessed mania. The shrink said it was highly possible but not conclusive.
So also Thyroid. I do think thyroid disorders are common in (well lots of people) but especially in IEE and often with the swinging Hyper-hypo-hyper which surprise surprise leads to mood swings. Often peope with hypo-thyroid have depression because of the thyroid.
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroiditus (accute hyperthyroid) which more recently swung the other way (hypo) and now i think it may be going hyper again. Often people with thyroid issues are diagnosed with bipolar disorder mistakenly. Also a common occurance is comorbid bipolar and thyroid problem.
So what is what, am i crazy and are all IEE's like this!!??!!
P.s this is a very personal thread for me so be gentle, i still may delete it anyway... shall see how my mood affects me!
