Micro-psychotic episodes

[SearchingSister]

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place as I have both Borderline personality disorder and bipolar but here goes:

Yesterday and today have been extremely confusing for me. Yesterday I 'discovered' that I was 3 months pregnant, announced my pregnancy to my support group who were kind and supportive, went home and had a meltdown because I didnt want to be pregnant. Then drove to my psychiatrist, hearing police sirens in my head most of the way. WHen I got there I had a severe fear response/panic attack.

Then in the session my psychiatrist brought me back to reality and made me see that I am not pregnant at all. She called it a micro-psychotic episode.

So I know the truth now. I'm not pregnant. But I have been vomiting all day (morning sickness) and I have all these weird symptoms (ghost pains, skin crawling, hot and cold flushes, toothache) when I told my mum she said "thats strange, I used to get those things when I was pregnant with you." I have no idea what is happening to me. I am so anxious and confused. I dont know whats real anymore and I can't relax. What is going on?

PLease pray for me?

I will pray for you. I don't no anything about morning sickness because i'm a male and what do i know. lol. Anyway when i have an panic attack i too feel sick and the skin starts to crawl. Isn't that the worst feeling when you get confused and can't think striate. I don't like it at all.

The mind can play terrible tricks on us. When my fiance and I first got together we thought we were pregnant. She went through all the signs and symptoms of being pregnant and the only way to figure out that we weren't was by a blood test. We were devastated but we both thought she was. It was hard to deal with on her end because she felt everything she should be feeling. Unfortunately it was all in her head. Panic attacks can mimic several things in a person, pregnancy, heart attack, respiratory problems, etc. With the chemical imbalance of Bipolar it can compound those symptoms and cause you to think and feel those things stronger. You made a wise choice by seeing your Psychiatrist. You are on the right path, keep it up.
