cyclothymia: anyone have it?

I've done alittle reasearch on it, and i think i might have it.  I fit all the symptoms and everything, but i wanna hear it from people who actually have it what they experience and stuff. it would be alot of help. The next step is going to my doctor.

Cyclothymia (pronounced /ˌsaɪkləˈθaɪmiə, ˌsɪklə-/) is a mood disorder. This disorder is a milder form of bipolar II disorder consisting of recurrent mood disturbances between hypomania and dysthymic mood. A single episode of hypomania is sufficient to diagnose cyclothymic disorder; however, most individuals also have dysthymic periods. The diagnosis of cyclothymic disorder is never made when there is a history of mania or major depressive episode or mixed episode

its like bipolar disorder except... much less severe. You go from being happy and having lots of energy and hyper and stuff, then depressed. And there can also be periods of normal emotions and stuff in between.
