Why do I become giddy after depression?

Post Reply New Topic

It’s happening again.
This has happened about 4 times in the past 2 1/2 months?

After usually 36 hours of depression, my depression vanishes. Then there’s I think a 1-3 hour gap of nothingness, then I become giddy, giggly, and exceptionally childlike.

This has started happening recently. This time the depression was most likely due to hormone fluctuations during my menstrual cycle. The other times the depression just popped up out of nowhere.

Does anyone else experience this? Should I take this up with my psychiatrist or is this possibly normal…?

things to note before responding: I have been taking anti-depressants since I was 9, depression is no new thing for me. Only this weird cycle and after-depression giddiness and such is new.

I'd bring it up to my psychiatrist. You're a bit young for it to be bipolar disorder but it sounds kind of like what I experience when I'm manic. Any time you experience something out of the ordinary like that, let them know.

It could be Cyclothymia, a less severe version of Bipolar Disorder, but I'm not experienced, so don't take my word for it.
