Yoda: You can still get quite a bit about the Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn responses from the article. They can be applied to any kind of PTSD, just that maybe some parts might not apply quite so well.

I read this article about a month ago, and it's sorta what made me go "Oh." I'm very much a Flight Response person. But I do have my secondary impulses that I act on - which are actually different depending on where I am in my bipolar cycle.

Baseline: I'm Flight, but also a Fawn response.
Depressed: Flight is still the main one, but I won't fawn and instead I'll Freeze.
Hypomanic: Again, still Flight, but if I feel stuck I'll start showing more of the Fight response.

It sounds like I use all 4.... but the 3 really are quite dependent on where I am - I never, ever, show any signs of a Fight response unless I'm in an up.

But by and large.... I'm a flight response. My T even picked up on that I think within the 1st meeting, maybe some time during the 2nd.
