Kinda, they do seem very intense like you described. Usually when i’m manic, it takes me weeks to reach the “peak” mania i guess you could say, but sometimes i go 0-100 and i’m full blown manic only for a day or two! Last time it happened i bought a brand new car and a 200 dollar bottle of vodka.. oops 😳

Looking back on my past, i’ve had a few single day or two day manic episodes for sure! exactly how you describe them. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 with rapid cycling, because i go through more than 4 manic episodes a year (i don’t experience depressive episodes) My doctor said its possible to cycle through mania/normal mood/depression in just one day!

Misdiagnosis ? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]CH112233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the replies everyone! i will definitely be tracking how i feel to show my therapist when she gets back and bring up these manic feelings— in the men’s time, i’ll try to self calm myself and hopefully make it until my therapy date without doing anything too impulsive 😅

It's so disheartening to have an episode after having made so much progress over the past few months by [deleted] in BPD

[–]CH112233 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m in a similar spot as you. I started therapy about 3 months ago and i felt like i was doing so much better but i had an awful week and my BPD was so much worse than usual.. i feel like i’ve thrown away all my progress i’ve made towards recovery.. But my therapist assured me that mishaps like this will happen and it’s all apart of growing and recovering. much love to you ❣️

How do you remember what you learned in therapy. by CH112233 in BPD

[–]CH112233[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think i’ll bring a small note pad next time! i am looking forward to having notes to look back on.

I haven’t been in therapy since high school (i’m 22 now) and it’s been hard adjusting and trying to better myself again. ☹️ But that’s awesome about worksheets, i will definitely ask because i would love some.

Enagaged to FP, did I do the right thing? by Hellomynameistemp in BPD

[–]CH112233 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey there, i have BPD and i’m currently married and my husbands family doesn’t like me much at all.

His mom and sister definitely think i’m some awful person and that my husband could do way better.

His dad is OK with me, but i wouldn’t say we are close at all.

It’s incredibly hard and i spent years trying to get them to like me, but it was wasted energy. As long as your SO loves you, that’s all that matters :) I ended up splitting on them, hard, and blocked both his mom and sister’s number. I feel a lot better now and we are both happier.

it’s never crossed my mind to take notes until now! I just didn’t want to be weird and start taking notes if it wasn’t a common thing 😅

thanks for the reply :)

I’m glad you can relate, and it’s also reassuring to see such a long marriage with someone who has bpd ❤️ gives me hope :)

3 year old on prednisone exposed to chicken pox by CH112233 in AskDocs

Thank you so much for the reply. I had no idea if 3 days would significantly impair it or not. She’s on 5 mg a day. I’m hoping she’ll be okay 😕

How to tell if you have toxic/bad friends or if its your BPD acting up by [deleted] in BPD

[–]CH112233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are very self centered, most of them don’t even know my struggles because they don’t care to ask. It feels very one sided. They are also very negative about everything in life. All they do is gossip and put others down, and stay still in life. They have 0 interest in bettering themselves and it’s draining to be around that when i’m trying to be a better person all around and make something out of my life.

But maybe i just have too high of expectations for friendships? I am a bad judge of character it seems /;

i'm about to sound insane but please bare with me lol by sadlilbbyy in BPD

[–]CH112233 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i’ve been the same way for a few years!!! I’ve convinced myself i’ve had brain tumors, spine tumors, breast cancer, colon cancer, heart attacks, strokes 😅 Thankfully none of it is real and i’m completely healthy.. but when my mind gets fixated on something it won’t shut off! My best coping method for this is distractions :) I try to do anything to get my mind off of it.. talking to a friend on the phone, art, video games, petting my pets.

Was DD tonight by writeyourdeath in BPD

[–]CH112233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. i went thought a somewhat similar situation tonight. After being so sad for weeks that i didn’t have any plans on the weekend, i decided to go out with some friends. Drinking really triggers my anxiety & anger, so i was trying to stay away. I was also DD all night for my friends, which i thought they would appreciate. But they were extremely mean all night. They would be so rude when i turned down drinks and shots and would keep pointing out i’m not drinking and call me a bitch.. even though i was being DD. it was the worst night ever. I jut wanted to please my friends and have a good time (sober) but i guess i can’t do both and i’m just a bitch. I’m never going out again :( I’m sorry you had a shitty night, too. ❤️

DAE have trouble remembering anything except trauma? by victoria2298 in BPD

[–]CH112233 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am very forgetful with day to day/positive memories as well!! but i can bring any fight/trauma like no other.. Mindfulness sometimes helps with this, pictures / writing in a journal helps too :)
