PP psychosis/ bipolar

I’m 2 months postpartum and honestly keep spiraling. I keep randomly feeling impending doom and looking to the media then convincing myself the world is ending or the government is out to get me and It’s gotten to the point where I think people are staring at me in public. I’m glad my partner stopped validating my delusions and told me I need help because it’s just gotten unhealthy. I don’t know if this is psychosis or if I’m potentially am bipolar since it runs in my family because it keeps coming In episodes then I feel better an hour later

Bipolar cycles last longer than just an hour typically. Rapid cycling that aligns with a lot of bipolar symptoms is actually more along the lines of bpd But this sounds more like a momentary / postpartum issue more than it sounds like some underlying disorder coming out from the info given so far Reaching out to a professional (therapist, or psychiatrist etc) is the only way you’d get a real answer tho (:

@Parker 又 @Parker 又 when I was a teenager I did have a professional suspect I have bpd but I wasn’t with them long enough for them to be sure. I need to definitely look back into professional help. The episodes went away until after I gave birth so i know postpartum has something to do with it

My bpd symptoms went into remission when I was actively pregnant. Not sure what it is about hormones or histamines & pregnancy, but postpartum everything I thought I had worked years to get under control all came back & it was shocking to everyone myself included because I felt nothing even close to it while pregnant

It is a good sign you can tell this isn't normal behaviour as some ppl lose all reality. I would definitely go too emergency and tell them what is happening.
