From the information that I (19f) have when I think mania I relate it only to bipolar disorder, but sometimes I get bursts of energy out of nowhere that fit into the description of mania. The difference is that it doesn’t last days or weeks like with bipolar disorder. I feel a very overwhelming sense of urgency and the need to hurry everything I’m doing. Tonight I was baking cookies (yes baking cookies and I don’t bake) and I felt as though I had to do everything as quick as possible, not to get it over with but for just merely filling this sense of urgency inside of me. Also when I stop rushing around and am in this state I realize I feel out of touch with reality. I tried to lay down and took a half of lorazepam to calm myself but is it normal to feel this way with BPD? I just got off of 20 mg lexapro and now I’m on Effexor. Maybe that could have something to do with it?? I have no idea, input needed!! :((
