You know Kiki, I am like you. I am super vigilant about my feelings and bodily feelings. I am constantly trying to be aware of my mood and what is going on in my head. When I was first diagnosed with bipolar I absolutely drove myself crazy with the ' what is wrong with me', 'is this the bipolar or something else' and 'have they diagnosed me wrongly'.
In the end I posted to another site and a fellow bipolar asked me: does it matter what it is? if you are receiving treatment then it doesnt matter what you call it. This helped me to just relax a little and let go of worrying (easier said than done) and to just go with the flow a little. This in turn eased my symptoms.
I do get all kinds of wierd feelings and moods. I think sometimes that I have always had them but are so aware of them now that I panic a little when I feel them instead of just trying to flow through it. A huge part of my bipolar is being anxious particularly health anxiety and being worried about my bipolar diagnosis and if my meds are the 'right ones'.
I think what you are feeling is well within the range of a bipolar/anxiety disorder feeling. That unsteady feelings is very much anxiety related and anxiety is well known to be a huge element for the majority of bipolar sufferers.
Hvae you had any therapy to help your anxiety - it worked VERY well for me. Cognitive behaviour therapy is great for anxiety - it takes some effort but helps you to stop your anxiety from increasing. Mostly I am pretty calm now and don't worry but when I feel that slight anxious feeling for no reason I no longer panic and make it full blown. The CBT has helped me stop it escalating.
Kiki, I know it is hard but try to go with the flow and say: yep, it might be bipolar, it might be anxiety disorder or it might be something else but it makes no difference - just go with it. I have learned that you dont need to catagorise it. I would say it is very much to do with your bipolar/anxiety at any rate but it really doesnt matter - it is how you manage to cope with those funny feelings that counts. That is what you need help with.
Goodluck, I know it is so hard.
Today I am writing cos i feel great - but tomorrow I will probably be depressed or anxious. I am learning to accept it and work my life around it as best I can.
What is ur question? help with what?
Hi hun! It sounds like what you have described! Paranoia, anxiety and depression, not so sure it has much to do with your bipolar, other than the depression. I'm bipolar and have the depression, anxiety and the paranoia too! If it gets worse or seems to keep bothering you, please see your doctor, he can help you better. Take care! hugs!
Sounds normal and unless it's bothering you extremely, move on with your life.
you know many people say, i have been diagnose..doctor diagnosed me..the therapist i see diagnosed me.., certainly you have depression but treat it with a better way, maybe this would help you http://mamsam.beatdep64.hop.clickbank.ne...
