Living with Bipolar Disorder: Feeling Like Two Different People

Does anyone else experience times where their bipolar disorder makes them feel like two different people living in the same body? Like whether im depressed or hypomanic i feel like im still myself but two incredibly contrasted versions of myself, bordering on being split? I feel like im constantly fighting which version of myself I want to front and its very exhausting. Ive been working a night shift job and ive been inconsistent with my medications which has put me in manic stages that ive never experienced in my 20 years of life Just wondering if this is something i should mention to my therapist tomorrow

Hi! I definitely recommend telling your therapist what you're going through. I feel like I understand what you're saying cause I always felt like me myself is on the inside, banging on my chest to be let out. While on the outside was someone I didn't know.
