So, anxiety is a symptom of both bipolar and PTSD. I have bipolar 1, PTSD, and panic disorder.
The problem is, I have a very hard time distinguishing between bipolar-related anxiety, and PTSD anxiety.
When this stuff happens, I can't tell if I'm having a "stress cup is full" sort of problem, a hypomania/mania induced anxious state, trauma-related anxieties, or a combination of those things (or more).
Is it possible to even distinguish the source of the anxiety? Does anyone here have success with that?
Do you think co-morbid disorders tend to feed off of each other/synergize in regards to symptoms? Is that the problem I'm having?
Any advice or input is welcome.
