Euphoria - is this common with you?

In a short summary, just wondered about euphoric moods or split selves.
Been diagnosed with BPD,or at least traits, which I can relate too but also I relate to other diagnoses and get confused with my euphoric times.

But I wrote too much prior,

I don't have euphoria but that's just me.

Thanks for the reply, I just get confused and wanted to reach out to others ... It'll be something I'll bring up with my T too.

Hi Beauflow,

Good question.

I have indeed experienced euphoria.

My understanding is that with Borderline PD, all emotions can be experienced more intensely, including euphoria.

Have you experienced it?

Hope this helps,

Thank you both very much. I know we're all different and no one really fits in a "box" with diagnosis, because we're individuals.

HD7970ghz, yes; though there are some days I feel like I "rapidly cycle" too , meaning euphoria coupled with agitation, along with "ok" and detrimental thoughts.
Then there's been times the euphoric mood can last a bit.
Similar to my depression in a way, except on the other spectrum.
I have issues remembering everything, but can recall that I am a different "me" at times.
My euphoric moods I can feel "awesome" , maybe even a bit delusional (magical or really "happy" in awe moments) and maybe a bit narcissistic (or what I feel is narcissistic)... I'm rarely, if ever, with "I'm prefect" because I'm human (so not completely full of myself ).
But I'm not like that all the time.
Other times I struggle with worth, deserving, love, and feelings in general.. and I've had time periods where I'm ok (even maybe to the point of "nothing is wrong with me").


I left a message to my T about this, but it was vague. I see t with in the following week. I know we talked one time on external things and feeling uplifted, instead of internal, but even I'm confused with myself on this.

Have a family history of bipolar, and the previous t/doc I was in therapy with dx bipolar with possibly BPD traits, and mentioned PTSD. Which , I some what dismissed the bipolar due to I felt I was never manic like some. I had quit therapy back then, but am back in therapy due to some events that occurred.

I went reading out there in the world and, I was having issues understanding if the euphoric moods were a traitof BPD and bipolar, or one or the other. when reading one of the articles it mentioned BPD not having elevated moods, which confused me even more because I thought BPD was an extreme of moods, like HD7970ghz mentions.

Current T that I've been seeing, is a T that sees BPD traits, don't think she's dismissed any previous dx's but in the end : Why I ask is because I just want to be sure to be focusing and working on a better life and I'm confused with this..

As I've grown, I understand more how I have BPD traits but also still worry about bipolar.

I question diagnosis, but yet realize I do have traits. And I realize it does me no good to dismiss them.

Reminding myself to take one thing at a time, and that if I help parts of me that need assistance, over all that helps me in general. And that there, helps out so much with everything.
I'm a strong believer that if one helps themselves to be better, it does help the others around them.

Thanks for letting me reach out. Sorry if this is a bit much...

I do get euphoria, but I'm also on the bipolar spectrum. Mine can las from anything from a few hours to a week. I didn't experience full on euphoria until last year (I'm 35) so I don't think this is a BPD thing for me, I think it's a bipolar thing, but who knows! I love it, but I often crash really badly afterwards. Generally for me, the longer it lasts the worse the crash is. I don't know what triggers it (I wish I did!) and it's rare compared to depression.

Can someone send me some euphoria? I'll pay for the shipping.

But that's a smart a@@ response, and I apologize. I guess I have to say no I don't get euphoria.

I think that's a fair answer! I'd pay for it too!

I get Euphoria and it is amazing! Mine lasts anything from a day up to 3 weeks. But I also have a diagnosis of bipolar and experience depression way more than Euphoria unfortunately!

I sometimes just feel really happy. You could call it euphoric. I play something over in my head that gives me joy and take it all in, usually when I'm alone, and sometimes I just laugh about it by myself.

Since I learned about BPD vs. BP, I check myself to see if I am perhaps too happy? But I think it's just fine. What's wrong with being happy?

When I have to put forth incredible energy for something and go go go, I do get a crash afterward. The crash is not normal, it's depression and a low I need to recover from.
