  • It kind of sounds like you’re describing bipolar disorder. These cycles of up and down.

    You said this low period always happens right after your most creative periods. Depressive cycles typically last longer than the manic phase which is what you described.

    Not a doctor obviously but I lived with it undiagnosed for a very long time. Maybe read up on it and see if it fits your experience.

    Whatever it is I hope you find some relief.

    I’m with you. Similar age and all that.

    You’re on the right track and doing the right things.

    I would just say the process of finding the right medication(s) can be a long and frustrating process but very worth it in the end.

    You try a new med, you have to titrate up to treatment dosage (weeks) only to find It’s not right, some meds you need to titrate back down before you can try the next one. Just to try out one medication could take a month or two not to mention usually monthly specialist visits. People get burnt out and lose hope that anything will work.

    It might have taken me a year to land on the right combo so if you go the medication route be patient until you find the right one.
