I'm just trying to see where I fall with some things. Whether it's just me or what. Also it'd be nice to know what others experience.

So, what are your symptoms during a:
-depressive episode?
-Hypo/manic?
-Psychosis?

I have to say this made me laugh a little, bc I'm in finals and a little punchy.
Let's see if we're all doing this bipolar things right!

Sound off-

Depression- can't get up, won't wash, food is pointless/eat too much but wont enjoy, won't laugh, even if it's really, really funny. nothing brings joy. for me I cascade into suicidal ideology and it goes like this. "did you hear about dontspeak?" "no" "she killed herself" "how" and then i change it up. this goes on forever. i won't talk to anyone. i lie to my therapist.

Hypo/mania- I am the smartest, the prettiest, I excel at work, at school, I flirt, I date, I have sex, I do drugs, I swim long distance races, I sleep less and don't care, on a whim all paint all the doors in my apt bc they look dirty, I talk endlessly, music is euphoric, orgasmic, quite literally, orgasmic.

-Psychosis- I don't get it, enlighten me

-Mixed states- Lucky me- Depression on crack, I get that.

Depressive symptoms; wanting to sleep forever, not eating or drinking, feeling sad, crying, self harming, feeling like I'm a guilty person, suicidal thoughts, not looking after myself

Hypomania symptoms; getting happier, talking to men online, thinking about sex, wanting alcohol all the time, less sleep, motivated, starting a few projects at once

Manic symptoms; cockyness, hyperness, no need for sleep, head in over drive, wanting and having sex more frequently, risky behaviour, talking fast, feel like I'm on drugs

Delusions/paranoia; thinking my meds had been tampered with (I stopped taking them), thinking the police had bugged me and everywhere I went and everyone I came in contact with, police were following me, people wanted special information off of me, I have special powers, I'm invincible
