Are blackouts a sympton of mania or psychosis?

Or is it something else? I’d like to know if you guys experience blackouts my aunt told me I was having a creepy smile once while supposedly talking on the telephone and I didn’t remember other times people seem freaked out angry or scared by me and I don’t know why, I remember dialing something on whatsapp but I didn’t remember when I did it, I don’t seem many members get blackouts here that I know of could it be something worse?

Blacking out is not normal
Go see a doctor about it ASAP

I do stuff and forget that I’ve done it. Especially stuff where I’m not really thinking about what I’m doing. I don’t know if I should be concerned.

It’s not really a blackout for me.

Like now, I can’t remember if I’ve taken my nightly supplements or not. I do it every night, so it’s kind of automatic.

I have never had mania only psychosis. But there were times when i would light a cigarette and suddenly be at the end and realised i dont remember what happened. Thats my one memory of this. Other then that i am forgetful.

I also seem to forget still some times of my days, maybe even till total black outs yeap… some blanks in my memory…
But i find this normal tbh. Idk if its the case for you too, but me, am still pushing my mind until its limits, until till madness, while my mind probably just looks for peace and maybe its his way to give me a sign, that i am taking my brain in the wrong way still…
For the rest, i was good on the bad memory or i just had a good memory in general, but as i said, i was torturing my mind on that…
In my hospital file though its written though, that my memory and my intellect are oppressed by the illness…
But dont worry, its normal to forget moments etc. And yoy could work on that too if you want too maybe :relaxed:
Check with the docs though too, me i just wanted to share my experience with you too here :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:
Take care!!!

Probably I remember I encountered a guy who I hallucinated wanted to kill me and years later I was talking to him normally then he stopped talking and seemed very pissed off later he would stop smiling at me or saying hello.

I’m just so disturbed as my memory is pretty good I still remember small stuff from 10 years ago. But thank you for your words :slightly_smiling_face: I appreciate them.

Oh, thank you you :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:
Well, me i was having a very good memory about the bad stuff in fact… along with a one, which was good for other things… but my point is, that i often in my sz had the impression, that am unfocused about the present, this is a problem and leads to suffering too… maybe to have a bad memory is not ok either, i know yeap…:unamused::unamused: but maybe our minds now try to refocus, yeap. But i really remember about me, as a kid even, that i had real blank moments about the reality around me, this wasnt ok i find…
I ignore though if the normies have blanks, you could ask your doctors yeap :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face::people_hugging::relaxed: but the brain is powerful and you can feel very good soon, dont worry too much :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:.
Hugs

Hmmm… don’t know if it’s the same thing, but last time I was in psychosis, I literally blacked out. Like nobody was home for a good 5 minutes. My husband (then boyfriend) said I was just rambling about something…. Don’t remember any of it. Didn’t know it even happened until I came to, it’s like I was unconscious.
