So I'm newly semi-diagnosed with BP NOS (semi because my T thinks we can handle this withoud medication for a start and my insurance doesn't need to know bc they already are paying for trauma)

I'm currently in a high phase (so I am told) and I sometimes have problems to empathize with others. Now I am wondering if this is normal.
My thoughts are everywhere but by the people close to me. I feel like I have more important things to do and I am more annoyed if someone want's to be comforted than normally. And it's strange because on the one side I experience everything so intens, but at the same time it seems kind of self centered? I am sort of an activist, fighting for peoples right, but it's more of a "I think this is right" level then based on empathie.

When I'm low level depressed I'm the complete opposite. I feel Weltschmerz and have to avoid news because everything hurts like I would experience it myself.

Does anyone else have similar experiences?
