Please Read I'm new here and it would
really mean so much to me !
Ok I am 19 and I was diagnosed with
Bipolar Disorder and Panic Disorder about
4 years ago. I have since been on about 20
different medications most of which have
been unsuccessful. I currently take
lithium, trileptal, and zoloft.
Not recently but in the past year or so I
was hallucinating frequently and seeing
people who appeared to be dead. They never
talked to me just looked at me and walked
around or walked away. I'd see the same
one for about a month and then they would
leave and I'd see a new person.
I also saw Jesus walking towards me
carrying the cross, with blood dripping
from his face, peircingly and angrily
screaming words at me that I could not
understand.
I experience paranoia also. Sometimes (not
always - depending on my mood) I am scared
to go places by myself or walk to close to
somebody for fear of them pulling out a
gun or knife on me. I create crazy
situations in my head that I believe will
actually happen. I become so paranoid
about certain things that they consume my
concentration at times.
I do have ALL of the symptoms of bipolar
disorder but my doctor has told me that
hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia,
are NOT technically found in bipolar
disorder. And since they don't occur so
often as to interfere with my EVERYDAY
life we have put them aside as flukes.
Do you think I could be bipolar with at
times psychosis? Or could I be
schizoaffective? Or even just completely
schizophrenic with mood swings?
Thank youuuu every opinion and response
countssss
