Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Hey guys. I believe most of us have comorbidity. Having multiple diagnoses. I have BPI mixed, rapid cycling with psychosis, GAD, OCD and PTSD. What are your diagnoses?

The repression of memories most likely occurred in a dissociative state.
fight or flight.
There are so many overlapping symptoms. Who's to ever tell?! Hopefully, a professional.
dissociating in midst of trauma= also a human reflex not specific to those with PTSD or anything else
think it's if you get in habit of dissociating as a result of a severe trauma that it becomes pathological or diagnosable ...just my understanding.
