Disorganized thoughts

Dabble in Tarot Cards, Witchcraft, Palm Reading, Ouija Boards, “spirit calling”, “Spirit Cooking”, and any false religion can easily bring about Demonic Possession - or in today’s language, “Psychosis”.
I think a great majority of the Democrats (the hardcore Woke ones) are undergoing a psychotic break from reality.
Sounds more like schizoaffective.
Bipolar dx is such a long process/time consuming one needs to do inpatient and observe behavior over a period of time.
Charting/mapping highs and lows can be tough without proper journaling otherwise?
How does one differentiate a psychotic break, manic episodes, depressive episodes then detail it’s bi polar and not possibly a psychotic break as bipolar?
Worked years and with patients and happy I was a psych RN but not the Dr adding the diagnosis. Some were real hard and had more than a dual diagnosis.
I would question if they ever came back to reality?
Don’t know but you can certainly have both.
Stupid me. I always thought bipolar disorder was a subset of psychosis.
They are, right now, in the deepest throes of this madness.
A Chicken and Egg situation, for sure.
Disorganized thoughts
It was twenty years ago this winter that I was first diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. It’s been hell to live with. It’s cost me jobs, friendships and family, even a marriage. Psychosis is thankfully something I have been spared. In fact, I can’t really recall anyone with manic depression having psychosis.
Sadly, some delusions can be very pathetic. For example, the worst writer and commentary wit I know truly believes he’s the “next Rush Limbaugh”. It’s highly insulting to the memory of Rush - and to most readers’ intelligence. Yet, some play into his delusions on a daily basis. Sigh.
Who is the next Rush Limbaugh?
You are right of course. Bipolar disorder used to be known as Manic-Depressive psychosis. Once one has worked with and observed someone in a full blown manic state, one will understand why.
Thank you for sharing that! I suspect I was undiagnosed bipolar in 2000-2001, when I had a vitamin related depression and drinking beer every damn day. We’re all fragile chemical beings. Hope you’re doing well!
I think my sister is bipolar. She tells me she has been diagnosed with depression only, but I seriously doubt that. I think she doesn’t want us to know she’s actually bipolar. Her highs are higher and her lows are lower than anybody. She sees “auras” around people sometimes. Sometimes her grip on reality is tenuous. It’s very hard.
Sounds about right. Like I said, no doctor. The stigma attached to mental illness is still a big deal.
I hope your sister can get the right therapy/meds and care she needs. Honestly, unchecked bipolar is like watching a runaway train; people get hurt as does the driver.
It’s just so hard to diagnose. Take notes. It’ll help the care team/doctor big time.
Thank you :-) I’m currently writing a book about my life especially with manic depression. God has brought me through a LOT and I’m really hoping this will honor that.
