I keep having these mental breakdowns. Like im laughing and smiling but im saying negative things about myself. It's not a normal panic attack. Im calm. But I feel like im slowly melting. Piece by piece. Is this normal for bipolar disorder? I was just diagnosed and trying to figure it out.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this, pricehaylein. It almost sounds like a mixed type bipolar episode. Please describe this to your psychiatrist when you see them next. If the feeling grows very strong, maybe give their office a call.

There's normal for bipolar disorder? So many of our symptoms overlap into other pathologies. It's part of what makes our diagnosis process so exaggerated. I have mixed state issues. I noticed someone else suggesting the same. I'm on a warpath to get some lurasidone, when I come across some euthymia again.

I have the melting moments too. They come out of nowhere and the self talk is horrible. It is hard to take control and redirect my thoughts.

I too was recently diagnosed with Bipolar so seeing all these experiences are eye opening. It's nice to know I am not alone.
