Anyone else black out when they get a bit manic? This happened to me a few times. Once at work and I lost my job over it. It was a panic attack. And yesterday I had the worst day. I cried non stop. Thing is, I don't remember much at all. I remember I got into a fight with my bf's mom which started all the drama. But as far as what and when things were said, I have no clue. I remember a car ride after taking my benzos in which I slept. And that's it. Sometimes it happens along side of a panic attacks.

I don't know about total blackout but my memory gets really bad in hypomania and depressions. I've been marinating my brain in alcohol before, might be related to t too. It's short time memory issue. I'm been in PC chat sometimes and just keep forgetting things people tell me about.

I was when I was a teen who was misdiagnosed and put on anti-depressants. I was so manic and would go into black out rages. I was pretty scary and dangerous to be around. Sorry you are going through this. I would question if your meds are working correctly?

I've had a few blackouts that scared the hell out of me. I literally can't recall them. But I have memory issues that also get worse in mania, and I find myself having to ask others what I did or said. Then I never know if they're exaggerating, because I've been accused of some pretty outrageous behaviors that I would never do under ordinary circumstances.

There's a lot that I don't remember, particularly when I'm raging. Supposedly I called and threatened my immediate family members every day for 3 weeks while I was in the hospital once. I have no memory of it and they say I was making at least 3 calls a day for about 21 days... Either they're exaggerating or I was just on another planet. There are some things I remember about the stay, though, so the whole time period wasn't blocked out.

Not very often, but during severe mixed episodes if I'm triggered into a rage, I disassociate very badly and it feels somewhat like blacking out. For example I'll be vaguely aware that I am screaming, but everything will feel far away and I won't understand the situation anymore. Then my memory of what happened will be very patchy and fuzzy. I wouldn't say it's a total black out, just very severe disassociating. I've had fights where afterwards I couldn't hardly remember what the fight was about or what happened. Luckily that sort of thing seems to be gone with my medication.
