The severe anxiety that can happen as a part of a dysphoric mania. Sheer Hell. That level of anxiety usually causes me to obsessively ruminate about something (usually a fear, but not always; sometimes it's just a random thought, memory, sounds, etc.). My mind gets focused in and stuck on one subject and it becomes larger than life, all I can think about, even in my sleep there it is.

Psychosis;

Paranoia about everything from people staring at me to my skin crawling to police bugged me

Delusions some are the same as above but then there is God and stuff like that

Hallucinations talking to peopke I see can be problematic and upsetting for me

I also find cause i can't "catch" the symptoms I get stressed out like pressured speech I don't even know I'm doing it I speak fast on a normal day its the joys of being from my city. Being loud is another one that stresses me out as again I don't know I'm doing it.

Apparently i can get quite obnoxious when high so that's one i try to curve as well no-ibe likes a biatch do they.

Also the need to apologise to EVERYONE for being "ill" its a compulsion. If I'm "ill" and come out of it I go around apoligising to people incase I hurt or offended them

All of the above are difficult for me to handle... there are probably more I can't think right now i might come back to this question at a later date lol!

Same as you...mania with psychosis...and those are usually the most severe also. Included in this is mania/psychosis related paranoia.

BPD longstanding pattern of abrupt, moment-to-moment swings. One day soon I will be free of this horrible disorder.

Same as Beth, dysphoric mania with anxiety and obsessive rumination. My mind can get completely stuck in a loop for weeks sometimes. Often I also build up a huge amount of anger. And an endless supply of anxious energy with no way to let it out. It makes me feel like tearing my hair out or smashing up my entire house. I don't even really sleep at that point, at most it's a sort of half-consciousness with thoughts spinning around in my head all night.

Sleep problems in general are one of the worst symptoms for me, especially when depressed. Also, lack of energy and lack of motivation. Feeling like each of my limbs weighs about 50 metric tons.

It has changed, depending on where I am with my illness. During my worst years, mania symptoms like impulsivity, disinhibition, and psychosis were the most problematic. Sometimes anxiety has been a real challenge. Nowadays, I'm more level, but still have occasional bouts of irritability (more like rage/ranting), especially as stress levels rise.

I'm trying very hard to manage my stress, but I'm not doing so perfectly. Really, it has been harder and harder to manage stress since maybe 16 years ago.

Two symptoms, difficulty getting out of bed and excessive spending. They occur on different poles.
