I had a hypomanic episode about a year and a half ago. Im not sure if it was endogenous (triggered by paxil, insomnia and stress) or that it is personality related. But I did things I regret and feel ashamed of. I don't even wanna see my parents cuz they dont support me and even blame me. Since that episode I am very very depressed and on top of that so anxious that I hardly go outside, just the necessary things like shopping or going to get my meds.
How can I overcome those feelings of guilt? Is there a relation between personality disorders and bipolarity?

After the excess of energy is gone, remove the Paroxetine and serve chilled with some C-PTSD and GAD. Ready is your MDD. Mx: To clean up the mess use lamotrigine, risperidon, mirtazapine and sertraline. Let it soak in for a while but keep a close eye on it. Meanwhile enjoy your desert of oxazepam/temazepam prn. |

not really IMO. personality disorders can be co-morbid with bipolar, though. Hypomanic or triggers aren't necessarily pathologically related, they are chemical. both can go along with depression, but a personality disorder is not considered in the same category as bipolar.
Think of a personality disorder as more a disordered pattern of thinking on a 24/7 basis. I'm not a psychiatrist, though.

maybe they meant narcissistic personality experiencing hypomania. However, some personality disorders can have rapid mood swings.

I cant find the article anymore but it was about so called narcissist supply and that a narcissist can exhibit maic like symptoms. The big difference however is that bipolar mania is accompanied by excess of energy and not just grandiosity.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
