In reply to derealization with bipolar II?, posted by Roslynn on April 28, 2010, at 16:44:28
Roslynn,
How are your other symptoms? Night waking, etc. I experience what you describe at my depressive worst, so I'm wondering if you have any sense, no matter how small, that the awful feelings are diminishing in frequency and duration. I would take that as indications of slowly healing.
I was/am actually terrified by those episodes--they were scarring. However, I have improved as my depression lifted. My understanding of BP II is it that the depression is more stubborn and the risk of hypo-mania not as high.
Any improvement? You will make it out of this state--you really will. The thoughts will diminish and so will the fear.
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
