Bipolar 2. When I have hallucinations when manic, they can be visual, auditory or ofactory. They really never disturbed me except when I was also paranoid and had my son look all over the house because I was afraid my Christmas doll might walk up the stairs. Once. I've seen shadows, half a dog, ex-husband walking up the stairs with hair but not a face, a bowl moving across the table etc. With auditory (more often) I hear children singing under the floorboards or outside the window, devil voice, doorbells knocking, scratching. The smelling one lingers. Everything I taste and smell is like chemicals. I usually lose some weight. LOL These are very real, can't tell them apart from real objects but I know they aren't real when I think about it. When I answer the phone or door and no one there. Or how can there be half a dog walking into the next room? Been good a few months. Waiting for the ball to drop but maybe I'll get lucky. Bipolar since early teens. Only diagnosed at 54.

I don't think this is from Bipolar or schizophrenia. I think it's demonic attack and possession. Fasting and praying will help this. Staying away from meat and alcohol and drugs will also help this. They are real beings. Dark spirits with only intention to harm and make you go crazy. Don't trust them and don't listen to them. Trust in God and ask for His help and He will help you. Demons can also possess other people to gaslight you and make you feel like you are crazy. But remember it's not the people but the demons that are controlling them that are doing this. Trust 100% in God and you will be delivered and set free ! 🙏💗

@@jean-pierreraduocallaghan8422 please stop telling people this. its fine to believe in what you do but bipolar, schizophrenia & other hallucinations that come with disorders are scientifically proven. just because you believe in god and all that doesnt mean you should tell a mentally ill person theyre possessed. get help. thats a horrible thing to do.

thank god i found the real cause i suffered a lot for 6 to 7 months my mind was hallucinating i heard and saw many things which weren't even real but i was feeling as if they were real. i can't share this to anyone because everyone will say that she has gone mad... but it was very real and an horrible experience hearing voices and seeing things and feeling something unreal, nobody is going to believe what happened to me in that phase they have already considered me mad

My sister has recently started hearing voices whispering in the next room of her apt. She complained to the manager only to learn she's not the only resident complaining about this,several others are as well. I started researching it and apparently this can be due to radiation exposure! This was a common complaint of those that suffered from what was titled "The Havana Syndrome". Which apparently was actually radiation from a directed-energy weapons by our own government....

[@PaulPickle]

Im not officially diagnosed with bipolar, but my whole family is. The only time I hallucinate is when I'm in a really depressive mood. Sometimes I hear music that never existed before, and the singing isnt in my voice, its someone else's. A week ago I heard a whole choir singing "It's going up, time to take off my pants!" Repeatedly, and after that was a bunch of random voices saying stuff that doesn't mean or correlate to anything. Scared the shit out of me. Sometimes when it's at its worst I am physically stuck and cant move, my head hurts and random events that never happened flashes in front of me really fast like a never ending dream. That only happened a couple times. Sometimes right before I fall asleep I hear some kind of noise, I dont know how to describe it. The one I had last night was like as if someone grabbed a rubbery alien and wringed it out like a towel. One time when I was 16 I saw a gigant spider hiding in the shadows of the corner of my ceiling right before I was about to fall asleep, I wasnt dreaming, my eyes were open and I was physically in shock and ran out of my room. Sometimes I'll also see a hyper-detailed distorted body-less old man face with blackened eyes and a black background in my mind out of nowhere, and every time its a different face. i felt like it wanted to hurt me, I was just jumping on a trampoline the first time it happened. That one happened a lot when i was around 11. One time last year the lights went out at my job and I asked what happened, apparently it never happened. What I experience the most is thinking I suck and people want to get me fired from my job because I suck, when I know they actually do like me. I hate that one the most because it affects my relationships. I remember my grandma would see flies swarming around her, my dad would see aliens and demons, not sure about my mom Id have to ask

[@ericsoto870]

I thought I was going crazy because I hear voices all the time. It doesn't matter what the situation is. I proved that you can record your thoughts with a tape recorder. Or portable digital. For example if someone writes on a piece of paper Mary had a Little Lamb. I read it just by simply thinking of it. And when you play back the recording Somehow it's imprinted on the. And I'm not throwing my voice like a ventriloquist what do. It's called electronic voice. Known as EVPs for short. It's all over. I believe I have a very sensitive pineal gland of course that's in the brain.I know I'm not crazy because I can repeat this experiment at any time to any skeptic I don't care. It works. We are possibly living in a computer simulation. Some form of matrix. All reality is full of crap. I can also record images. Out of water. It's called instrumental transcommunication ITC for short. Anybody can do this.All the spirits want is to live again that there's no heaven and there's nothing to do. They want their lives. That's the most common thing that they want back to live again. Nothing else and nothing more. Go online and research the information I just provided. I believe some people do need medication. But not everybody. I can back up my claim thank God for that.just because you can't see something or hear something doesn't mean it's not there.we cannot see ultraviolet light with four eyes but it's there and animals can hear better than us some. Just saying. I do believe in a creator. It's not an accident what's going on in the universe in my opinion. Everything is information. It can be backed up.

[@gehesnuts2444]

[@johnpnavarro24]

I can tell you are in your manic with the run on sentences and missing information for completing the sentences. I hope you are taking your medication. I have had my withdrawal of taking medications since my first crisis which was 2011. I have understand that there are life stressors that cause me to go into the crisis and I have ended up in the hospital countless amount of times. I am currently taking my meds and it actually does help. Stay positive and dont overthink the why but focus more on the how... How I can improve .
