Does anyone else have delusional thoughts and or Hallucinations evolving around the television and the radio? I seem to think that everything that is said is something to do with my life or something. And I feel like I am getting hidden messages all the time..
Anyone else have the same experiences?

I try to explain this to my Pdoc but he don't really elaborate on it very well, he is just like its part of being bipolar. I just want more information about this kind of episodes my mother tends to think I think to much she said that BPers think more than the regular person, so maybe I am just trying to reference stuff that I shouldnt. etc..

Well ,do you have times when you think everyone is staring at you, or that someone is calling your name, when no one is there?, or that your ex boyfriends are following you, when no one is there??

Dude, BPers think way more than most people. Our brains our so active that sometimes we can't help but think, well shit that sounds like they're talking about me. It's because we think so much and tend to have paranoid thoughts, so we tend to go kind of... well paranoid.

Thing is, I'm pretty convinced I'm being watched by some government agency or maybe several. I do have certani reasons to think so, though... but see? It's a normal thing for us to have. Delusions and shit; all part of BP.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
