Things I like one day I have no interest the next.

Can anyone help me this is driving me MAD..

Does anyone else experience this ?

Is this a kind of Bipolar activity ?

Somedays I can really get stuck into something, a task, work, errand, new hobby. I take interest and really get into it - (maybe obsessively get into it too much).
Then a few days later the interest completely disappears and the thought of doing whatever it was disgusts me.
I can never start any new business ideas, have any hobbies or enjoy my work because if one day im liking what I'm doing I know in a few days the idea, hobbies or job will be brushed aside.

My relationships also suffer with this way of behaving.

I have been diaged as dysthemic/Atypical and don't currently take meds.

Thank you

That's a tough one have you seen a therapist before as your're on no meds. Maybe a therapist could help you decide if it's psychological or a mental disorder. Phillipa

To me it sounds like it is related to bipolar:

"The term "ultra-rapid cycling" may be applied to those who cycle through episodes within a month or less. If this pattern occurs within a 24-hour period, the person's diagnosis could possibly be termed "ultra-ultra-rapid cycling" or "ultradian.""

To me, bipolar symptoms just go to show how biological mood disorders can be. Unfortunately I never get to experience an interest.
