So, is anxiety issues and panic attacks usually a part of Bipolar?

Maybe those attacks are caused by the medications that you use?

That's something to think about, but i am finding i get overwhelmed and anxious when i feel stressed an everything feels like it's piling up. or when i can not get away from a stressful stimulus and i am trying to hold it together but my patience is being worn thinner and thinner.

before i went into residental treatment i was having a lot of anxiety issues and out right panic attacks and i told my dr and he tried to tell me no, i was not. It was all part of my bipolar, and i told him no offence, but i know what the bipolar feels like and it aint this. we're talkin apples and oranges here.

So then i end up in patient at Safe harbor. and i spend a week there and when i get out I have a meeting with Pych dr. and we're talking about the anxiety issues and the panic attacks and i told him the meds dr and the psychological dr at Safe harbor says it's clear as day i suffer from anxiety * which i have not been officially diagnosed with *and ptsd and Adhd. and Bipolar and i have emotionall problems* which i have been officially diagnosed with*
.
he told me that it's very rare for most people to have multiple diagnosis and that i either was over diagnosed or i am very unlucky . he does not believe i am all the diagnoses that i have been given. And I certainly do believe I am. I see it and the therapist and the med dr and pych dr at safe harbor saw it and my new therapist at Life practices sees it.

my therapist and i, we were talking about it and she says it sounds more like anxiety than panic attacks, cuz panic attacks usually you can't pin point the cause an i know what causes my anxiety. I can point right to any instance and say this is what set me off and this is how it shows up for me.

So, is anxiety issues and panic attacks usually a part of Bipolar? Cuz for me I only experience the mania's of bipolar and belive me that is far different than an anxiety attack,

ok i know for me the anxiety feeds off of my bipolar and visa versa that is why i am on vistaril and geodon. I like you wasnt diagnosed bipolar for the longest time till i went inpatient at a mental health hospital. it also took me moving to kansas to get properly treated now all is well.

im diagnosed ptsd and bipolar. my mania feels alot like im in an adhd fit like i cant sit still and even if i do sit still i am constantly changing what im doing like i sit on my computer and constantly change the website im on and bounce between my homework and such.

i suggest that you look up all of what you have been told is possible diagnosis and see what fits then discuss your point of view due to your research and see what happens from there. one thing i have to say is if you dont feel different after about a month or so on a new med then tell your DR immediately and get them changed.

it may take a bit but after some time and trying different combinations you will find what works for you.

knowing what sets off your anxiety is a good thing it will help you regulate everything. i know i deal with anxiety and my bipolar is mostly mania but without warning i can bottom out and feel worthless and go to the depressed side.

as for my experience my anxiety and mania bipolar go hand in hand for the most part.

any questions hon just send me a message through Cmail.

I was evaluated at 17 to get SSI when i got out of the group home and came back home. The adhd and learning disability and the SED and maybe the bipolar cuz they wanted me on lithim and stuff when i was a kid and i remember the drugs made me so sick i couldn't function was as a lil kid and the ptsd at 17.

Technically they said severely and emotionally disturbed, and i have no idea what they meant by that. cus they never defined their idea of it. The pych dr at safe harbor said she wasn't surprised i had PTSD either given the horrible childhood and early young adult hood i had.

I agree the lack of desire to fight for myself health wise is typical depression.



When you were diagnosed with that they typically didn't use the PTSD diagnosis on kids, nor did they diagnose kids with depression.




ive been diagnosed ptsd since i was about 14. it was only recently that i have aquired the bipolar diagnosis instead of major depression disorder which makes a major difference because the doctor is treating the actual problem and not just one side of the problem. ive never felt better than being diagnosed properly this past year.

I'm not afraid of being molested aggain or looking sexy, in fact i'd love to feel sexy and attractive and i just don't.

And on the hygein front, actually since coming home from safe harbor i bathe more. I do not always hit the every day and i am not hitting the twice a day i want, but i average about every other day if not everyday And i have a bench that goes in and out of the shower easily and i feel safer in the bath tub and it's far easier now. which helps a lot. but it wasn't why i wasn't as good as i could have been on the hygein front, i just didn't care enough to attend to it..


i know that feeling and when you get the right people in your life and get a routine going and such you will care alot about your appearance and such as to maintenance and such. I have that special person well actually people and even though i have them i get to negative self talking in my head and dont do like i should. but after reassurance i tend to do better or once i notice im neglecting myself i change the habit to make it better.

im ike you when manic, the pc is a godsend cuz i can do 40 million diff things on the pc an i jump from window to window an soon i have 200 windows open, litteally

That's just it, i often wonder what are the meds supposed to do, or are doing because i do not feel different, i feel me. i am usually a very happy and loving and reasonable person, an the meds don't do that , it's me naturally. but take me off the meds and in 9 months usually ish slowly very slowly the symtoms come back. The easily aggitated, the restless, the unable to focus, the racing thoughts. the manias the depressions the desires to hurt myself. the inability to control my emotions.


And this last time, holy fuck, it was the worst it's ever been i actually felt well i cant say pychotic cuz i;ve never been pychotic, but surely it must have been close to it. it was bad. I have never wanted to hurt James when i am off my meds, and some bad , bad impulse told me if he did not get away from me i should spring at him and attack him. He was only trying to talk to me and sooth me which normally I need. I felt like my skin wanted to split open and my skeleton run away. I was moments away from going pycho on someone the next person who pissed me off. of throwing things and screaming and trashing the room and maybe, maybe even trying to hurt myself and do serious damage. and most certainly security having to come throw me on the floor an sit on me. and i was out of control over my own emotions i knew id fight and bite them and buck, because way back when i was a kid and i had to be restrained, it took 7 ppl to hold me down.


i so did not want that* shudders*



so, yeah in comparison to that. and the 1 other time stopping my meds led to a pych hospital stay i know what they do, i don't see adifference. i feel happy and content and well adjusted as usual.

I also do not have any better energy or motivation or focus, which they're supposed to help.

Why Vistaril, for heaven's sake? It's an antihistamine. Why aren't you on an anticonvulsant to go with the atypical antipsychotic?

According to my daughter, when she got put on Lamictal, an anticonvulsant, she described it as still feeling everything she normally felt, but the feelings weren't out of control, controlling her. It was as if someone had put rubber bands on them, holding them together.

However diagnosing bipolar in a child or teen is very difficult. It appears differently at those ages than it does when it starts after you're an adult.
