I have recently been to a psychiatrist who put me on Lamictal for mood swings, supposedly of the Cyclothymic flavour. Cyclothymia is supposedly less severe, yet I have problems with minor self injury because the pain can be so unbearable. I have periods of agitated depression where my mind races with terrible things, sometimes for weeks and sometimes for just an hour. I was depressed October through December and then I went on Prozac and it nearly made me commit suicide. Recently, I had a three week long hypomanic episode. I was so full of anger all the time and I felt so fast and lost and my emotions were too strong. Now I can feel myself cycling back down to the agitated depression again, which makes me numb inside. Isn't Cyclothymia supposed to be less severe?
