Bipolar disorder is a mental illness characterized by mania and depression that alternate repeatedly, and when they are depressed, they will be depressed, have difficulty moving, be unable to carry out daily life and work, and feel miserable. When you are high-pitched and excited, you will have a very high self-esteem, feel that you are very energetic all day long, and even feel that you are uncontrollable in your emotional excitement, and you don't have to sleep at night. This cycle of excitement and depression occurs, some people may have a high or low pitch once every six months, some people may appear once a month, and severe people may appear many times a week for several days. The biggest challenge for them is not knowing what tomorrow will bring.
The following are 18 physical symptoms of bipolar disorder reported by many people with depression, hoping to deepen everyone's understanding of people with bipolar disorder.
18 Signs of Bipolar Disorder:
1.Memory loss.
I did something during my manic episode, but I don't remember, and what I want to know most is where I am now.
2.Sitting still is impossible.
Imagine that during a certain speech, you start fidgeting and then you start shaking your legs. It's embarrassing, isn't it?When I'm depressed, I can't be idle, I must do something, and the state of "emptying" scares me.
3.Can't sleep, can't wake up.
Unable to sleep during hypomanic episodes and not sleeping enough during depressive episodes. The body is always in an unbalanced process. Either you don't want to eat anything when you become an immortal, or you are reincarnated as a starving ghost, and you can't eat enough. The pain and feeling in your body is like you're going to be freed from your own **.
4.The energy bar is changing.
During a depressive episode, I am very tired every day, I can't get out of bed for almost a week, I don't want to talk, and I feel sad every day. But when I had a depressive attack, I just couldn't sleep with excitement and wanted to talk to people all night long. The brain is racing all the time. But the patience is extremely poor, and it will explode at a point. When the plane was delayed, I would be so impatient that I would collapse and cry.
5.Clumsy.
When I'm emotionally high, I come and go like the wind, touching everything around me, and unconsciously banging on cabinets and doors until I fall to the floor. When I started to get clumsy, I knew I needed to slow down or I would become manic.
6.The heart is flying, but the body is sinking.
The mind has walked 10,000 kilometers, but the body is like being in prison and unable to move. It felt like if I had finished a marathon and just raised my arm and stroked my hair.
7.Restlessness makes your body uncomfortable.
I felt my brain pounding into my skull, my limbs twitching, and my heart would pound and pound rapidly, almost exactly like the anxiety attacks I had persisting when I was irritable.
8.The tense body is knotted.
Because I've been nervous, my shoulders and back are "knotted". Some knots may be golf in size. I also have muscle cramps. I really wish I had the ability to get a regular massage, and I never felt my body relaxed, which also affected my posture.
9.Unable to speak.
When I was in the anxiety phase of bipolar disorder, I was thinking about how to express a complete sentence. However, when people tell me, I just say a bunch of meaningless "uh, um, this, that......"Well, I don't know what I'm talking about.
10.There was a constant buzzing sound.
During a manic episode, I felt strange buzzing sounds all over my body and countless bees flying in my stomach. It made me feel like I could run for hours. Plus, it makes sleeping almost impossible.
11.Overweight.
When I'm feeling down, I eat and eat and eat When I'm manic, I fall asleep very late and am often hungry. When I struggled in the spiritual world with all my might, I didn't have the extra energy to take care of my body. Now I'm a big fat guy.
12.The body and mind are like two poles.
For example, when you are depressed and unable to get out of bed, your brain will scream at you and try to force you to get up, but your body will not obey. Then, during a manic episode, your body screams to rest you, but your brain only has one sentence: "I'm not biased!"."We still have a lot of work to do, we have to tidy up our room at 1 a.m. so we have time to finish a hardcover notebook and read two by the time the sun rises.
13.Pull your hair and twist your wrists.
When I'm in the anxiety and hypomanic phase, I pull my own hair, but with the force I can't pull it out. I would also twist my wrists and ankles unconsciously.
14.I'm going to say it out loud.
When I'm in a manic phase, I speak loudly. There's a lot of rushing thinking and stress in specific aspects of my life, and I repeat over and over in my head how to fix those situations. When I don't just think about it, I say it out loud, like when I'm driving, when I'm taking a shower, and so on. I can't control myself, but I hope no one hears me. It's like thinking in a race car, the track isn't enough to trap them, and what's going on in your head will inadvertently spill out of your mouth.
15.Common gastrointestinal problems.
Gastrointestinal problems are common for me. I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery, but I still live with problems every day.
16.Temporary loss of consciousness.
Whenever I was angry, I fainted and couldn't remember everything I said or done. I also get headaches from extreme anger or adrenaline rushes. Even though I may not have done anything, I would also be exhausted. My brain would drain me of every ounce of strength.
17.Tactile hallucinations.
I felt something crawling past me, or someone or something passing me, but there was no such person or thing. Inability to keep the body still, memory loss, fog of the brain, stiffness of the back, shoulders and neck, muscle spasms, teeth grinding, inability to breathe, auditory hallucinations (often indescribable in their own words, more like screaming). During anxiety and manic episodes, claustrophobia appears.
18.Stutter.
Stuttering, it's troublesome, I can't get into a sentence at all, so I can just stop and say to myself, it's okay, I can walk away. It's always easier than being embarrassed all the time.
But it's the kind of behavior and behavior that for many people, we may ignore it and think that it is just a change in our mood, not a bad thing, let alone associated with illness.
But when it really deteriorates so badly that it can't even work and go to work normally, at any point in it, it may endanger life and health.
Therefore, if you have five or more of the above symptoms, which are present most of the day, then it is likely to be bipolar disorder, and it is recommended that you seek medical treatment in a professional hospital in time, and early detection is the best way to prevent bipolar disorder.
