> Is it part of bipolar II? Is it a mixed state? It includes a feeling of horror and depression. I feel like I need to escape from my own mind yet can't.I experienced profound derealization when I was younger. Now, it is infrequent. It coincided with increased depression / anhedonia and anxiety. I am bipolar, but experience mania and mixed states only in association with antidrepressant use. It might help if you were to reduce your level of anxiety. My periods of derealization are definitely not a product of a mixed state.
