Yep! With me, anxiety is a big component of my Bipolar. In fact, I suspect that it had upped my stress levels to such a high baseline that I was constantly getting triggered. I do best on an antidepressant that cuts out the anxiety also and a mood stabilizer. Hope you find something tthat works. Huggs, and don't worry about feeling kind of outside sometimes, dear. I think it's kind of normal, especially with us bipolars. Huggs!

 I'm pretty new here as well. I remember that, as my appointment date for the pdoc got closer, the more I had the urge to cancel it. It was like mentally I was sticking my fingers in my ears and chanting, "LA LA LA I Can't Hear YOU!!!" I think that feeling of being outside of things is part protection and part a coping tool. I know I've definitely felt like that. I hope you can find part of what you need here. Everyone has been really supportive so far.

Bipolars often have anxiety disorders on top of the bipolar. I have a fairly severe case of PTSD myself.
Unfortunately a lot of people have unsupportive families. You have a great family here at PC!!!!! PC is a great place to vent, share, cry.... and share your triumphs too.

I get very anxious as well. I think it goes hand in hand.

I dunno what I'm doing. Feel anxious and maybe hypomanic. Out having a drink. Ugh.
