I am diagnosed Bipolar 1 with ADHD. The
last few months I have been experiancing
some new things. At least I caught on to
them. could have been going on longer. I
will try to explain as best I can. Just to
note I have already started talking about
theese things with my doctors.
First off there are times when nothing
seems real. As if reality is in a bubble
and I am outside of it looking at it. I do
not feel anything is real, I am just
there.
Then there have been increasing cases
where I cant tell if I am dreaming or
awake. Sometimes I do a task and swear I
have already done it. Maybe I dreamt doing
it before I did it or the other way
arround. I do not know.
Lastly False memories are trying to fill
my head. Sometimes I will be thinking of
stuff that happened only to later realize
they didnt. I keep remembering myself in
situations I have not been in.
This stuff is all new to me and so far
don't know anyone with similar
experiances. I do not know how to deal
with this nore tell my love how she can
help with it. So far I have devuldged this
to my doctors in my last session last
week. It is was fear of embaressement that
took me so long to tell her. I just
couldnt take it anymore. She took a bunch
of notes that day. Scheduled to go back on
the 31.
If anyone has any idea what may be going
on please give me a clue. this is
frustrating and scaring me. Any advice to
pass on to my fiance would also be nice.
Thanks

Please don't worry. What you are
describing is, I think, Depersonalisation
Disorder. It is closely associated with
Anxiety, Depression and Bipolarity. Many
people, including myself, experience it
when they are very tired or traumatised,
but in your case it is probably occuring
more frequently. Don't worry - although
you may feel you are losing touch with
reality, you aren't - testament to this is
the fact that you can calmly and logically
describe occasions when you have felt
confused by what was happening to you. A
person who has lost insight or a sense of
reality would not even be aware that there
was anything wrong.
It sounds to me like your medication
probably needs reviewed, but that is all.
Google for Depersonalisation and you will
see just how common it is!
