The cyclothymia collective

Welcome to the Cyclothymia Collective, a personal website about the neurological condition (or "mood disorder") called Cyclothymia. I started this website in 2002, roughly two years after my diagnosis and beginning of treatment. I had spent a lot of time on general Bipolar forums and felt that it was time there was a website and forum dedicated just to Cyclothymia. I felt that while we have a lot in common with people with BPI and BPII, our needs and issues are different. How are they different? Well, I wasn't exactly sure. So that's why I named the site The Collective. My aim was to create a place where people with Cyclothymia, or who thought they might have Cyclothymia, could come and add their accounts of living with this, so other people could come by and compare and contrast their own experiences and then leave their own stories, so eventually we could have a mass of experience in one place from which we could benefit as a community
