Does anyone find that when they are either depressed or manic that their perceptions of people are fragmented?

Question

For instance like when you are finished being manic the time you spend with someone while depressed is completely erased when you get manic again. Kind of like blacking out almost for a certain period of time and starting right where you left off when the mood changes back.

Answer 1

I almost never remember what went on, or if i do remember it's a really twisted version of reality. Thats when I call my therapist to get an adjustment. It's relly hard to function normally when that s**t is going on, but i know it's possible.

Answer 2

you sound like you have bipolar-disorder. you will need a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist. 50% of people w/ BP disorder go untreated and 19% of them comit suicide

my cousin has this disorder and she would be a very different person if she did not go to therapy and take medications and better yet have a doctor explaine to her why and how her brain and neurological system runs

Answer 3

This sounds like a multiple personality . You are a person for the time of the emotion. I hope it is a good feeling then.
