I was diagnosed with Bipolar Depression

But I'm also experiencing:
1: Bad sleeping patterns, 3 or 4 hours sleep, then up for 7 then, 3 and 4 more hours of sleep
2:Talking rapidly, Racing thoughts, guilt, unworthiness, misplacing & dropping things very often
3:Chronic fatigue, Really bad memory loss, losing train of thought or place, while having a conversation
4:Highly Distracted, Very irritable, Anxiety, loss of cognitive functions aka concentration / no focus
5:Thoughts of death, Total loss of social interactions or activities / mental & physical sluggishness
-Is this all part of BPD? I had an MRI, but the neurologist said it came back negative & recommended I speak with my psychiatrist. So my question is, is anyone else experiencing the same thing with BPD? is this part of the territory? Also I've gone thru 90% of available meds for BPD, all I get are the side affects :(

There are different symptoms and signs included in Bipolar disorder.

The signs you mentioned like bad sleeping patterns, talking rapidly, irritable sounds like the manic episode. while the others are signs of depression. It an be that you are experiencing a mixed episode. A person with mixed episodes experiences both mood types of mood. This includes mania and depression simultaneously or in a rapid sequence.

I would suggest you talk your your psychiatrist about this as they would be able to help you.
I'm sorry you experience the side effects of the meds. Maybe you can try it again but start off with a small dosage and see what happens...

You can also call hotlines and talk to someone if you are overwhelmed. They are helpful.
