side effects bipolar disorder medication
selective amnesia in bipolar disorder?
I suffer from bipolar 2. In the past I had a severe case of this is – I know what my family and friends tell me. But since I've been medicated I have trouble remembering how things were. I have read what I've been and I just I can not believe it. I can not. There seems no way for I was horrible. Is that I have selective amnesia about the whole year. This is a side effect of medication, disorder, or just a random whim?
Ease yourself. Yes, we can do some things for quite a character when we are on the outer edges of the spectra of our mood. I shudder when I remember fragments of how I acted. Here's my take on why we do not necessarily "Remember" everything good, bad, ugly and time … Our psyche is not can understand and therefore are locked … It happens all the time people go through traumatic situations. And trust me, my manic episodes are very traumatic for me. I think that after the terrible first episode that I would have benefited from post-traumatic stress syndrome … I remember fragments sometimes. Often my mind is thrown back, so it can run instead of being consumed with trying to make sense of what "I" did. Remember, the chemical imbalance created a situation in which very much who was kidnapped by an alternative and "you" were just along for the ride up the balanced chemical enough to "you" to become dominant again. I remember feeling at that time horror as I curled into a ball in myself and saw myself same act. Weird feeling of being out of control that way. It was like things I have done, but I would never have allowed it became an option. I saw how low could go. It was not a pretty sight. Very humble. I'm glad you can not easily recover those memories. They surface a little here and there, and I take a close look humble in what I'm capable of … And then I left with my life. Lesson learned and I hope never repeats itself. Dawn
