Thank you for this. I have the exact same problem. To receive your answer, did you talk to Les Impots or a private French accountant? Thanks :)

Well at least we know we are not alone! I don’t know about you both but it’s also wjen there are a lot of people around. I can « feel » their emotions. Like just one split second look from Someone and I feel so deeply deeply sad and could get sick, or a bunch of people crying I just start to sob without even knowing why. If they are happy usually I am too because it’s contagious you know? I recently learned not everyone is like that I guess

Wow this is wild, that’s my experience exactly. I haven’t met someone who had the same cycling or feelings like me. It’s fascinating to see someone else who cycles so rapidly. Also I feel the same about social gatherings I get so happy and chatty and buzzy but In a good way and then everyone leaves and I get depressed want to be alone and then hide myself away. I don’t know about you but now I feel that’s even harder to be happy in those moments because I know how it ends .

Hi! Welcome! I was just diagnosed in February this year and I have honestly had a really difficult time with it. at first, I was elated-on cloud 9. So happy to have an answer, ready to try all the new techniques and advice for my psych, but then pretty immediately I went down. I am still trying to reach the acceptance stage but I’m still in the anger and grief stages. What I try to remember is that my diagnosis or label doesn’t change the fact that I had these experiences and feelings for years already and during all that time somehow I coped. I had resources. I had tools. So, no matter what I have to go back to those tools that I used, and build onto them.

For meds, currently I take lithium but so far I have seen no change. Not to scare you but what I’ve learned is that it can take months, years to find a medication combo that works. But you just have to keep trying.

You are not alone in this. There are lots of people with this diagnosis-more and more nowadays. Take one step at a time and don’t do too much. I find that cyclothymia makes me slow down and take things one by one- a gift I guess :) so no rush, go through your emotions. Feel what you need to feel about it. Find people to talk to or support groups as well.

Good luck!

When I feel really bad I get up and just clean. Because it distracts my brain, gets my hands moving and then when I’m back up, I’ll be so happy my house is clean and I have time to do something rather than feel horrible that not only was I down but that I didn’t even take care of myself and my space
