I don’t know

Ami bipolar? Ami just depressed? What is going on?

I’ve experienced a lot of delusional thoughts in the past, such as being special, abducted by aliens, psychic powers etc I know u don’t have any of those. But I once swore I did. I also suffered from sleep paralysis and use to hear voices whilst in a state of panic in my sleep.

I’ve been diagnosed 3 years ago with an anxiety disorder and depression. My first episode I had constant intrusive thoughts about killing, as well as panic attack after panic attack. But with meds’ and therapy everything kinda settled.

In the past year I’ve experienced periods of high energy and enthusiasm to the point I challenge myself and push myself to my limits. Then heavy periods of depression hit me and I wanna stop and quit everything. I also lose my temper over nothing and I feel like I can’t control it unless I sleep it off. Once I’ve calmed down I can’t remember why I was angry or the harmful things I say to others.

Wtf is going on?

I feel your pain friend. I feel fine one minute and the next I am moody, depressed, and/or anxious. I am always all over the place and it is very frustrating. I just want to be normal or at least stable. These mood swings really take a toll on you. I have had weird thoughts such as feeling like my neighbor is going to pull a knife on me or shooting me. I have felt very suspicious about my boyfriend's current and past and have also felt intrusive thoughts.

Hello Imdead_32

I'm sorry your mood is so erratic, that is difficult to take. No one on this site can diagnose as I'm sure you understand. To get any definitive mental health diagnosis it comes through a Consultant Psychiatrist. Do you feel in the right place to ask for a referral via your GP?

Please be careful with your (inferred) language on the site - see the community guidelines.

Have you tried keeping a diary of your moods?

Take care

There is such a thing as psychotic depression, hearing voices, paranoia etc, sounds like psychosis to me, or it could be bipolar. A friend of mine has bipolar and antidepressants don't work for her - just give her a massive high, I think that's common for bipolar sufferers, but then you are having the high energy episodes. I think it's well worth getting a second medical opinion to find out if you've been misdiagnosed. Just be really honest with them as it's distressing to have to put up with those symptoms. Good luck.
