Nic, your post is blank lol

Tiny, I think you should mention your thoughts about being bipolar again but depression itself can cause fluctuating moods. It depends on the degree of highs & lows but only a psychiatrist can diagnose.

Are you receiving any treatment? Meds or non-meds?

Bit like my mind MM lol

It was because I moved it from the Intro forum to here

I agree with M77, I asked my Doctor if I could be 'mildly' bipolar as I have ups and downs but don't quite fit the extreme swings others deal with. My Doc said the diagnosis of Bipolar needs to be made by a psychiatrist.

Hi Tiny, I'm the same, my mood changes from day to day, even within the same day. I think I may be bipolar but it almost feels like after my low, some chemical gets to my brain extremely fast, which lifts me. Then I think that I'm not going to come back down and i'm sorted, back to how I was. It's got to be an imbalance of chemical. I'm taking no meds, hoping it'll go away.
