I was just diagnosed with bipolar. I was previously diagnosed with various other disorders before this diagnosis. I’m a recovering self harmer. Lately I’ve been having extreme hyper moods that include intense anxiety and anger. Then they are encompass by moderate or also severe depression. I losing empathy for myself and others. Sometimes I feel better when others are in destress, because I’m not the one hurting this time. I have found out that I self harm in ways that don’t leave marks. In addition, I never tried to kill myself or OD on medication until the end of last year. In my severe depressive states I sometimes dissociate, and feel like I’’m outside of my body. I just started back my medication and it has been 3 weeks, but it doesn’t seem to fully help. Am I psychotic?

Welcome to the forum, dark
 I have no idea whether or not you're psychotic. Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder, but some people with BD do experience psychosis, often during manic episodes. 2 questions that come to my mind are *Has anyone diagnosed you with psychosis? *Are you in therapy? __________________ |

I’m have been in Therpy for awhile but I decided to quit my meditation. I was off of it since June, because I felt like I couldn’t keep up with my pervious job and felt like I was getting in trouble for being slow. My previous diagnosis, OCD, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. But I decided to be more open with my meditation doctor no because the feelings are really intense sometimes. I get episodes of extreme hyper and anger to extreme sadness with hyper activity as well. It just exhausting.

Are you having a mixed episode with depression and hypomania at the same time? Hugs if you are mixed episodes suck!
Have you done research into the different types of psychosis (delusions of grandeur etc)? I can’t pick up what in your post would make you psychotic unless you specifically state things like you’re feeling / hearing things / you’re having spiritual enlightenment / people are out to harm you etc etc |
