I have bipolar 1 disorder with psychosis and have, in the past, been rapid cycling. Rapid cycling meant 4-5 episodes a year. It was brutal. I also had DID but am integrated now for about 5 years. There is a huge difference between a bipolar episode and a DID "switch". One is organic. Medication is the only way to stop a manic psychotic episode. Talk therapy won't do it. Trauma work won't do it. Soothing techniques won't accomplish it. It's only your psychiatrist's magic prescription pad and sometimes, unfortunately, a hospital admission that resolves the episode. Mood swings caused by trauma or DID can be soothed. Your trauma therapist can help you figure out what techniques work for you. I have an amazing psychiatrist, but soothing trauma reactions isn't always his strength, although he's learning. Dealing with my brutal mania is. My psychologist is the trauma expert. |
