I posted before about nearing hypomania. Well I was flying high, but trying to be level headed and take my meds, get my sleep (by taking my meds) and keeping in contact with my T (to encourage me to take my meds) when all of a sudden my mother (who I live with) had a temper tantrum. ( i used to be in an abusive relationship) and I had a flashback of sorts. My mood just plunged, I got really withdrawn and kind of shut down my emotions. I contacted my T and he gave me some coping skills for the next time she rages. He said he was very concerned about the low mood and doesn't want me to take another dive into depression.

That was yesterday. Today, I am flat, drained and tired. Like I had a month long manic episode and I am crashing off of it.

My question is: Can PTSD cause a bipolar mood swing??????
