Bump?

I know it can be more than just occasional auditory and visual hallucinations, I have them a LOT if I dont take my meds but I'm not sure how full blown they can escalte to

I started seeing things out of the corner of my eye and when I would look for it, nothing was there. It was small objects, like a squirrel. Now, I smell things (usually sweets) and the objects that I think I see are a bit larger. Further on, I talk to myself a lot in the 3rd person, like there are a few of me, carrying on a conversation. This may be a normal part of BP. When I mentioned it to my psych, she upped my meds.

I don't have a whole lot of hallucinations, mostly delusions... but one that sticks out in my mind was when I was in high school... I was dropping my friend off at work after school, and in front of some apartments I saw.... a HUGE DANCING PENGUIN! When I blinked it was gone, but it freaked me out!!! It made me think of Billy Madison!

Before i went on my meds, I heard voices in my head, and i thought i was some religious diety put on the earth to change everything. It can be scary, be sure you tell your doctor even if its something minor. My meds took care of that one luckly.

I tend to just see colors and sometimes everything looks like it is all made of liquid as it moves in waves. I have heard voices and had a few conversations but outside of that it hasnt been that big of a deal.

I too can see things out of the corner of my left eye. Usually just black shadows or what looks like a bug and when I turn and look it is gone. ONe day I saw what one guy on DS describes as a shadow man. It looked real. I once had a pair of socks talk to me and my leg spoke to me once. My doc upped my meds and it went away. I also find if my stress level is up I see the things in my peripheral vision.

BP runs in my family, I have an aunt that regurally visits with dead relatives. I guess we can see that as crazy or spiritual.

I do hear voices from time to time. Nothing specific, but there have been times when I swear my cat was speaking to me in a human voice before they entered a room. I am just starting meds, so it will be interesting to see if that all stops.

Also, in my hypo manic states I get quite egotistical. But at least I can laugh at it afterwards.
