Cyclothymia, or as my son referred to it: diet bipolar disorder - is a mood disorder that is relatively rare, but I wanted to talk about it because (whether I have this or not) the symptoms are very relatable. Mental health issues and diagnoses are important things to discuss, and I’m glad I have this outlet to verbally process all the things I’m questioning.

It will get easier, won’t it?  If you enjoy the pod and want more content, or just want to get in touch, find me on IG @oh.thatsjustmyautism or shoot me an email me at ohthatsjustmyautism@gmail.com :-)
