Do you experience mood changes? confidence changes? Am I a Bipolar

So for a few years now I experience that my mindset can switch from being confident, happy, 'hungry for life'-mindset to it's complete opposite.. Doubting, doubting my happiness, my hunger in life, getting lazy...

It can switch in 1 day without anything having changed in my life without anything to have happened. I wouldn't say it's in an extreme way but more in a subtle way... So it's not like I start my day hungry and then end up with crying in a corner. So no not like that but just more subtle, subtle mindset changes. I'm having these my entire life and it's freaking exhausting :/


It's not because of NoFap, it's just always there, these little switches. sometimes I notice them sometimes I don't...

Anyone experiencing something like this? or something that sounds familiar to this? Do I have kind of a bipolar disorder?

 

good point. So you're saying this might be like a subtle disguised depression?

 

So I might being depressed my whole life and not knowing it? I mean I've had 1 year where I was definitely depressed and I knew it for sure, I got out of it. But this long-term subtle depression comes as a surprise. I didn't look at it this way...

When I'm almost constantly asking myself how I come over, is this anxiety? I mean I'm not scared of people or scared to talk I'm not scared to walk up to somebody and ask something. But I do have this annoying reflex of wanting to know what people are thinking about me. I mean it's a good habit somehow to ask yourself if people would like you (making some self reflection now and then). But I feel like I'm drowning in this... It's stronger than me. Can this being categorized as anxiety? Being to focused on what people think about you?

 

I think I'm pretty much myself it's just I'm an overthinker. But trying to beat my mind is something I do everyday. Anyway.
Robbie my man thank you for your insights on this

 

I googled this before when I got in a deep depression once, but it wasn't due to any disorder. I was in a bad time of my life ( and also did some drugs with it's after effects). It was the only extreme depression I got. So think I don't fit in the Bipolar discription where it constantly switches.

I read about Cyclothymia once and indeed I think I fit more to this description. But how to know for sure? I don't think this makes me fap. I know for myself I have a high libido/ sexdrive. I didn't spend much time around girls, and I still don't. I think the combination of not having spend much time with girls, or going out and my high libido makes me fap. I mean I'm still human...lol.

but definitely cyclothymia is something I qualify for (if we can say it that way). Do you think being to focused on what people think about me comes from there? This mostly happens around the more confident people...

anyway f*ck it. NoFap, working out, dieting, and doing what I do helps me to overcome these thoughts so...
