BP and hysteria

[kisikiki]

My pdoc tell me that my BP currently is frozen and I'am suffering now from hysteria epizodes which are mainly expressed with mood swings as crying, smiling and sometimes screaming. Also blaming other people for my situation. After a while I realized that was an epizode and I regret. Any similar experiance?

I'm no expert but from reading your experience of hysteria it sounds to me exactly like a 'Mixed Episode' as I go through exactly the same.  

When you say you are 'blaming the world' and having crying episodes and screaming that is my experience of a mixed episode.  May be worth asking your pdoc whether it could be this?  Mixed episodes can feel very intense and as though your emotions are spinning out of control.

Only my opinion but hope this may help.

Yes I would agree its something different but ask yourself if this has occured before? You could keep a Mood Tracker and see. The cycle from mania to depression and mixed states is extremely complex. What you described might be part of it. I certainly wouldn't think it was voluntarily. But your psychiatrist could help you more if you could figure out how often episodes like that occur and describe them like you just did. Its good to understand what's going on rather just regret it. Perhaps that aspect is treatable too and by speaking to them further they can know better how to treat it.
