TBH, I really thought for a while that I was developing early-onset dementia, but my pdoc doesn't believe so at all. He says all this stuff is part of the bipolar experience, so to speak. I'd like to believe that there's a reason for the complete and utter confusion I have sometimes---I'll find myself in a room and not have the foggiest idea of why I'm there, how I got in there, what day or time it is, or what the hell is going on around me. Then it goes away and I'm back to normal again.
Needless to say, I HATE that. I'm glad it's not dementia, but I'm not fond of the thought that it's r/t my BP either. |
Its very scarry I know. Im going to mention it to my new pdoc and hope that he listens to me and takes my concerns seriously. My old doctor didnt do that. I just know that I have had BP for quite sometime and that has never happened before and several people here have had years without experiencing it so maybe there is more to it. I hope so because I want that to never happeni to me again. I dont think I have ever been that scared before. I was thinking maybe a seisure or something I have heard that people go into a state of confusion like that after a seizure. not sure. but I plan to find out.
