Is it possible to be afraid of the dark when depressed and feel invincible in the dark when manic?

Answer 1

Definitely, those are good descriptions of what can happen in each phase.

Hey, I wrote a little more on the other question about Bipolar disorder and personality disorders.  Be sure that you read the final product.  It took me forever to finish.

Answer 2

Yeah, it is.  Depression can make you afraid or just.... uneasy in every situation.  Manic - you feel like you can conquer the world and nothing can hurt you.
