Manic symptoms...Euphoria, then even more extreme euphoria. Incredibly creative. Art, music. That's all the world is...beautiful!Melts into irritability. My thinking is very fast and sharp and it's difficult for me to cope with people who seem to be thinking slowly. Anger, rage. Getting the idea that I don't need to sleep because I enjoy the overnight hours.
Depression...Delusional worry, mostly about my cats and my son. Terrible sadness. I'm told I tend more toward mania. But the mixed states are very common. So, euphoria/severe waaay extreme anxiety/sometimes agitation/feeling like I'm dying anyway, so maybe just take control and do that myself/excited. Anyway, I'm still not even convinced I have BD. Or maybe I have it, but I also have major dissociation problems. __________________ |

Hypo/mania - euphoria, rapid thoughts and speech, grandiose, irritable, impulsive, reduced or no sleep.
Depression - exhaustion, lack of motivation, suicidal ideation, inability to feel positive emotions no matter what I do, pessimistic. Mixed - HELL; extremely suicidal, overwhelmingly agitated, racing thoughs and speech, little sleep. Psychosis - when manic my grandiosity goes into overdrive, I AM god, feelings of ecstasy. When mixed my delusions are paranoid, people are out to harm me and my solution to this problem is always darkly grandiose. __________________ Bipolar 1 with psychotic features PTSD  "Phew!

Hypomania: Rapid speech, insomnia. Sometimes, irritability. Only recently, ordering far to many items (which is something I have never done for my entire life until now). Sensory hypersensitivities . IQ increases.
Depression: Listless, hypersomnia, paralyzed, IQ drops. Hopeless. Very serious depressions. __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths.

It is fascinating that you mentioned IQ. Yours is an excellent way to describe the "brightness" of mania and the "dull" of depression. __________________ |
