Tea, do you find it's too expensive to afford meds? (I know it's super expensive in america, costs me next to nothing here because I'm on a government support plan). I think it's really important for you to medicate yourself if you can, I mean I'm not exactly a prime example as I haven't gotten my meds right yet but compared to before medication last year my life has radically improved.
Either way, I think seeing a psyc is very important, as if you are truly seeing/hearing voices then you're probably either manic, schizoaffective, or schizophrenic.

Right now I can't even afford to feed myself properly. I've been relying on donations just not to starve. However, I understand there's a clinic around here that charges at most a dollar to be seen. Soon as I have the time/money/means to get there, I'm going to.

I hear people walking around even when there are no people and I don't think its PTSD. My psychotherapist said it can be possible during manic episodes. But I think its paranoia on my part. |

I have paranoia issues during a hypo-manic episode.

| I've not had an episode for months now and my paranoia is in control so I think my paranoia should be related to bipolar instead of schizophrenia which I was suspecting. |

I am in an aspie/bi-polar relationship (and have been for 12 years). I think it can be quite a common pairing, I've come across a couple of others. I am the aspie of the partnership.
Unlike myself though, Carol doesn't want to go online to meet other bi-polars. |

I suppose I use it too.
But, what most people would mean by meeting is more intense, usually involving rapid response to literal or even metaphorical use of speech.
Anyway mostly I have been drawn here by not wanting to be anywhere else.
My definition of what is preferable is that two people find something to do or say that they would be doing even if alone. A sort of parallel almost virtual "meeting". |

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm guessing you're probably too sick to do any work, and you also need to mind the children.
Regarding the paranoia, I had a little of that a few months ago, I know it's horrible when it happens. Big hugs from me.

Yeah, I think I am too sick to work right now. I get my children for the summer on May 1st, so hopefully by then I'll have this sorted.

I watched a movie yesterday about schizo-affective bipolar disorder and I started getting paranoid and auditory hallucinations started a li'l after that. but wow it is really bad when an episode happens. I've finally been diagnosed with bp II after being suspected bp I. Today I am thinking I'll be depressed since I haven't been sleeping properly. My thought processes is blurry.
Also I have a question. How many of you get violent during your episodes? |
