Usally i have a panic attack when i get too manic. Phobia of going crazy has always been a concern about myself.
I am diagnosed BI, but its not I or rapid cycclnig, it happens in one day. Ultrarapid cycling, it usally happens at night, i look up stuff, do stuff, then get panic. It starts usally around 6:30pm and slowly wears off around 9:30-10:00
The worst is having manic with a panic attack that is the most horrid, paranoid, anxiety to the max, pacing, looking up on the net what symtoms of insanity are.
Usally when im mildy manic im confident about myself, feel good, feel inner determination. anxiety and panic attacks are sometimes a reaction to a belief that is false that is felt or belief at that time, such as im very confident, im not this way, there something wrong. React with panic, intense fear.
That is my input, is this a disorder in itself or 2disorders. Or a disorder that that causes another.

it sounds like you have a lot of mixed episodes. thats what i tend to get. mine used to be really bad..sometimes i'd hear voices. Yours sound a bit more pleasant+somewhat less severe.

I am considered ultrarapid cycling becuase it happen in one day during a couple of hours usally 6:30pm. That is when i get wierd.
Panic attacks can be mild when i start to worry about whats going happen?

Well thanks for asking.

Matt,
What is going on with your treatment now? You ask so many questions about symptoms. I worry that you don't have a pdoc and a therapist that you can talk to. It seems like the answers that you are searching for are too complex to give online. You need good clinicians in real life. Do you have that? Have you investigated what is available at school?
Best,
EE

Matt, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. I have bipolar II and have hypomania and had 2 panic attacks in my life. I know the panic attacks feel so horrible. Hopefully, you have some antianxiety meds that can help combat them. I haven't had panic attacks for some time now, after going on meds, but when I look back on them, I think it might've helped me just to really try to breathe, to calm down, maybe get some exercise during the day. During the panic attack, if you can just remember that you're really not going crazy; that this too shall pass. Try to breathe and calm down. I hope I don't sound too simplistic about this. Maybe only meds can help the panic attacks sometimes. Just wanted to say I can relate at least in a sense with my experience, and I really hope you feel better soon--and get the help you need and really deserve! I second other posts to your later posts--I hope you have a really good pdoc and therapist who can help you. In terms of insurance, maybe you could investigate also if there's a good community mental health clinic near you? I go to one, and I think they have a sliding scale for fees for patients without insurance. If you could just report your own income, maybe you could get cheaper services?
Thinking of you and wishing you all strength, Lucia
