that when you finally pull out of it you feel like a bodysnatcher? Like you replaced whoever was in this body before you, like your hands and your body feel like they aren't yours, and there may be someone in there that you've suppressed or have evicted?
Sorry if this makes no sense. I just feel very clumsy and hyperaware and estranged from my physical self.

I have the feeling that my body, my voice and even life itself arent mine, for many years and it even got worse and im still not recovered.

Dx: Mix anhedonia with Bipolar II. Add some insomnia and chronic stress. Season with paroxetine and a pinch of ADD. Stir well to induce a couple of hypo/manic episodes. After the excess of energy is gone, remove the Paroxetine and serve chilled with some C-PTSD and GAD. Ready is your MDD. Mx: To clean up the mess use lamotrigine, risperidon, mirtazapine and sertraline. Let it soak in for a while but keep a close eye on it. Meanwhile enjoy your desert of oxazepam/temazepam prn. |

I used to have vivid delusions that my reflection was autonomous and was the alternate life I was supposed to be living and I was trapped on a side that's not mine. Or that my reflection is protecting me from living my true life because it's worse than this detached one.
I'm still not really past it.

For now my psychiatrist has settled on II because it was during a mixed state? Not a full mania. But maybe she has a idea that mania is only 'super happy or angry and irritable' Idk! I don't really get either of those. I get smaller happy hypomania moods definitely. But they don't interfere like my depression or anxious paranoid mess mixed states do.
I am pretty newly diagnosed. Within the last two years.

I guess the reason I said bp1 is that delusions (psychosis)usually only happens to folks who are bp1.

I certainly experience times like that. It can be from bipolar mania or PTSD. The experiences are a bit different. With mania I have delusions but with PTSD I am more anxious. Anti-anxiety meds or anti-psychotics can help calm things down but I see you are trying not to take meds. Does your T know about this? Maybe they can help you with tools to manage this. Take care.

Ah! That makes sense.
Maybe I have BP I and I just don't get pure mania. Time will tell, I suppose.

I am not really currently experiencing this, it's more the aftermath... like fleeting thoughts about it and realizing it's weird, I guess? But also thinking about how real it felt. And still kind of feels, with how weird I feel in my own body.
My T does know about not taking meds right now. They do know about those thoughts but I reacted pretty badly to the first few antipsychotic meds they put me on and after a year of trying I was becoming really sad and sick and it was really affecting my quality of life and I wanted to take a break to recover. So we're just talking a lot right now. Kind of like thought management, lol.

I'm able to work and I am back in school soon. I took a break for a while, then started going purely online. I'm going back to a classroom in August. I'm in a pretty good place right now. No major episodes this year. Just moderate ones.
Relationships don't really get rocky for me, I just get distant and lose touch with everyone because I'm too depressed or paranoid. Sometimes people feel slighted but I'm never really irritable and angry or confrontational. I tend to just take things out on myself. I've only had psychosis twice in my life so far. Both times I had already detached from everyone so far they hardly noticed unless they lived with me. Unfortunately geodon makes me suicidal :x whoopsie.
