I've been diagnosed with bipolar i and panic disorder.
It's really hard to explain. -feels like nothing around me is real, I question whether everything around me is really happening -feels like I don't belong in my body, I don't recognize myself -feels like my head is going to explode -sometimes it gets so severe I feel like I'm never going to think straight again -if I don't stay distracted these symptoms happen and I feel like I'm losing my mind -cant sleep at night because when I close my eyes these symptoms happen

I'm not sure what your question is. Are you asking if anyone can relate? If so, yes, I relate. When I'm in an episode I often feel like nothing is real. Mostly mixed episodes. Perhaps that's what you're experiencing?

It partially sounds like derealization. Feeling like you're only partially present or not really present at all. Like a dream state almost. It happens to me when I'm very anxious. My pdoc has me take Clonazepam scheduled when I get like that instead of as needed.
It is the feeling I hate the most being bipolar. I feel so out of control of what's going on around me. It's debilitating.

I felt like that yesterday while I was sitting outside.... I could see that the sky was blue and feel that the wind was blowing, but I felt like my whole being was so wrapped up into my mind that I wasn't actually experiencing any of it. I didn't know that was common with bipolar- good to know I'm not alone there!

Yeah, I second it probably being derealization and depersonalization. I get it too and it's the worst thing. Lamictal's been the one thing that's helped it quite a bit for me.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
