Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I've had delusions before and I'm having them now, I'm really distressed by how real it feels. It feels like people are conspiring against me, even though I know it can't be true.
Is this level of paranoia normal for depressive episodes? Has anyone else experienced this?

Here is my new brother, copper :) He's so tiny! Moo and Tuck were ok with him on first meeting. Rocket due to his severe aggression will never meet Cooper.

challenging them that they 'can't be true' is a very good sign.
It's taken me a long time to cultivate that kind of awareness.
I don't know if you would call them bipolar delusions.
For me, I have schizoaffective disorder which has qualities of
both bipolar and schizophrenic type aspects.
I would consult your doctor if these paranoid thoughts increase.
I know they can be uncomfortable so you've done a good
job at taking care of yourself and coming on here to talk about them.
You really need to talk to your psychiatrist. Do you have an anti-psychotic to take?
Please hang onto this can and will get better with the right meds and you'll be okay again.... Big hug... xo
