a couple of years ago when i was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder, i would get really angry and yell a lot and then not be able to sleep for a long time. but about a year ago i started getting weird. like i act like a little kid and say weird things that don't make any sense. sometimes i talk about elephants and zebras, one time i even said i was following my new friend log to the moon. i do not know anyone named log. and sometimes i would hallucinate, usually of the girl in the ring. that girl is terrifying. but i also would see people climbing up trees and stuff. it would go away after an hour, and it would happen everyday and then 3 months later it would be gone. then it came back and then it was gone. now i can make it go away, but i haven't heard of anyone talk about mania like this. my therapist said it was mania, but my psychiatrist was very confused when i told him about this. does that sound like mania, or could it be something else?

Your hallucinations sound much more serious and warrent further investigation. If the pdoc you saw was confused, could you get a second opinion?
