Were you dx with bipolar by a pdoc? That makes a lot of diff cause they will help work out the things that are going in. It sounds like bp2 to me but I am NOT a psych doc. I can say that because I have hypo mania. Bp comes with a rage of emotions, heightened self esteem, feeling totally awful for an unknown amt of time...then you feel on top of the world for an known ant of time. There is a lot more to it...bipolar depression in my opinion is one of the worst depressions out there. We're lucky there are meds out there to help us. I truly hope you feel great for a long time. When yr feeling down remember how good it feels to come out of it.

Yes dx by pdoc a long time ago and i have full blown mania with psychosis
I have been hospitalized 6 different times all involuntary
It was more of a comment on the lack of insight that can accompany bipolar and how strange it is!

This sounds just like the internal wrangling that goes on during the different cycles of my BP. You captured it perfectly.

You've described how I feel as if I had written it myself.

Thank you for expressing this.
