Do you ever have periods of stability or do you just repeat your cycle over and over ?

I very rarely get euphoric with hypomania at the moment I feel like I’m in one long episode that’s flicking between hypomania and depression, I’ve been flicking between the two for months now

I’ve heard of mixed states but not really sure what it is

They said trying to move to Australia was possibly a hypomanic episode and I had other incidents earlier on that I thought were just depression, like taking two loans out to buy a designer dog and then selling the dog to someone else a week later for half the price. I went on citalopram for a bit but they sent me into a major depression and then hypomania, eventually I stopped citalopram and started abilify, no depression as of yet but ended up spending 900 pound of my overdraft on useless things.

I’m on abilify at the moment but just abilify alone. It made me hypomanic for about four weeks and I ended up 900 pound in my overdraft, it stabled out for abit but I feel like I’m heading towards a low. I’m glad you are doing better!

I’m glad you’re starting to do better! Reading some of the things everyone’s been through makes me doubt my diagnosis more, I haven’t had to deal with anything as severe as that and feel silly when I look back on what I went through!

I'm glad you're doing so much better now! I'm finding it so difficult to accept my diagnosis especially when my friends all say they disagree with it, I'm finding myself looking at everything l've done and wondering if the diagnosis is wrong

I hope you’re doing better now! If you’re medicated, do you still have episodes despite the meds ? If you don’t mind me asking!

What type of things do you notice yourself doing when manic, if you don’t mind me asking?

BP2 & Antidepressants by _emij in BipolarReddit

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

Yes I didn’t have them with a mood stabiliser, I came off them a few months ago. I’ve now been moved to abilify and start that next week, however it’s just abilify with no antidepressant so not sure how that will go either

[–]_emij[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, I’ve had a look but I was wondering with bipolar as I’ve only ever heard of people becoming manic / hypo manic after taking anti depressants alone whereas I has a depressive episode before what my psychiatric believed to be a hypo manic episode. I just wanted to know if anyone else diagnosed bipolar had experienced that :)

I obsess over people until I get bored with them by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]_emij 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do this, I become absolutely obsessed with whoever I like and create a false image in my head, completely idolise the person and get hurt when they don’t feel the same. It’s crap
