I think you need to be very wary of diagnosing yourself. I'm not saying don't do it, but do see a doctor as well. We don't see the whole of you here. Ultradian cycling can happen with any mood disorder.

your spot on thats why in cheek said we need three paragraphs on a forum to do a diag .... but most people know themselves better than any dr

Hi, I will make this my last post on this thread cos I've taken it off topic, for which I apologise.

I will endeavour to ask the GP, as I may have been treated purely for depression, (venlafaxin), when I have a different illness.

Don't worry, I wont self diagnose, just interested really. Gp's don't tend to talk much, just keep repeating the prescription.

Thankyou all very much for your guidance and support,

and thankyou Jasmine for your warmth, I wish you a much calmer and happier time too.

Best wishes,
Rachel
