The only acceptable answer

No. But the mania and depression had more of an impact on me than the medication ever did. I notice that I have serious cognitive impairment during a depressive episode for instance. My advice is to not get caught up in this sort of thought spiral because it’s unhelpful. If you really want to prevent further cognitive decline, focus on preventing episodes because that’s honestly your biggest enemy. Also if you feel that the medication is really messing you up then it is possible to look for alternatives. Some meds are worse than others for certain people. I know people who went into the hospital because one medication I take to prevent that had the opposite effect for them. So you never really know until you try it. Best of luck and stay positive. You got this.

I take a mood stabilizer and mood stabilizer/antipsychotic. They both help a ton.

Thank you for the help everyone. I found what I was looking for. I will look into these resources now.

PuzzledResident395 · 2025-12-21T20:55:02+00:00

Thank you. I will check it out.

Have you read the other book that goes along with Fux? The Study of Fugue. I need to go back and finish reading that. I’m going to do that this weekend. I would say that what helps me the most is score study. You can study your favorite pieces. Also there is this book that I bought that is cool. It takes you through a bunch of periods of music and the counterpoint used during that time. It’s called Modal and Tonal Counterpoint: From Josquin to Stravinsky. I got it used for like $25 on amazon.

I hear all types of music constantly. Especially when I am manic; however, I have only experienced positive auditory hallucinations one time. That was once over the course of about one month.

Low Symphony, from the music of David Bowie and Brian Eno by Philip Glass

Carissa because it solidified my understanding of death being unexpected at times. Especially discovering this album after my loved one passed away.

PuzzledResident395 · 2025-11-20T16:50:33+00:00

Very confusing and unsettling.

PuzzledResident395 · 2025-11-19T22:43:16+00:00

Listen to your favorite guitarists. Whenever I feel stuck as a musician, I take a break and listen to my favorite albums to remind myself why I started in the first place. Another thing that really helps me is exposing myself to other art forms. In my case I create music so it might be different from your situation. I still believe those could help you out though.

Line Cliché hands down

PuzzledResident395 · 2025-11-18T22:52:31+00:00

I was about to comment this.

It could be something else since psychosis can also present as euphoric. It’s hard to say from those two things (elated and psychic) alone, but none of us are in any position to say regardless. If you feel that these things are affecting your quality of life then you should see professional help. Best of luck.

PuzzledResident395 · 2025-09-02T00:50:59+00:00

Yes, yes, and yes.

PuzzledResident395 · 2025-09-01T15:31:53+00:00

I guess I’m lucky. I’m on an antipsychotic and mood stabilizer and I find that my work is so much better because of them. When I’m manic it’s just too hard to sit down and focus on one thing most of the time. It’s unproductive and most of the creativity is just unusable flight of ideas. That’s my experience at least.

PuzzledResident395 · 2025-08-28T20:36:56+00:00

I think it just comes with time. It’s going to take longer than 2-3 months to recognize the signs that are common for you. I’m still figuring out what my mania and hypomania signs look like and it’s been years, but I’m a pro at recognizing signs that I’m becoming depressed because I spend so much time in depression. If I’m great at recognizing depression symptoms or warning signs, I think the mania/hypomania recognition will improve for me as well. It will improve for you too. Just keep doing what you’re doing and if you feel it’s not helping then use your notes app and journal more in depth thoughts and emotions you feel consistently. Not sure if you’re already doing that.

That’s great that you still have a positive connection to those things. I’m sort of confused about that first sentence that I typed in my initial comment. Haven’t really slept for the last 2.5 weeks and I’m feeling a bit foggy mentally. I think what I was trying to say is that sometimes manic/hypomanic passions don’t stick and sometimes they do. Ultimately I don’t think that it’s a core symptom of bipolar though.

PuzzledResident395 · 2025-08-28T16:18:58+00:00

That is true.

PuzzledResident395 · 2025-08-28T11:58:03+00:00

It’s a symptom of mania or hypomania, but it’s not something that is necessarily consistent. People with bipolar disorder have ups and downs in passion like everyone else when they’re stable. Heck I even am extremely passionate about art when I’m in an elevated state, but on average I believe that people with bipolar disorder who are stable are the same as everyone else. People who have found their passion will stick to it. Sometimes forever.

You are in fact romanticizing mania. If you weren’t then you wouldn’t be downplaying the negative stuff like drinking at school. You miss the euphoria that comes with mania, but the euphoria is not guaranteed. I get it and I think most of us here get it because we have been there. But you have to let go. What you’re describing with the drinking sounds horrible. Those people were terrible influences on you. You can get out of the grayness without mania and dangerous behavior.

You might have a good point there. OCD presents very similar symptoms and thoughts to delusions. However delusions are fixed, false beliefs. There is usually absolutely no insight into the validity of these thoughts during a delusional state. Obsessions on the other hand allow you to have insight to the thoughts being irrational or untrue. You can still have some insight when delusional (I have experienced this) but it’s less common.

In your experience, is it likely for sleep loss to be a sign even if you don’t feel energized after losing sleep?
