I sometimes hear things that aren't really there. I'll hear a door slam, I'll hear incomplete sentences - a man's voice that I don't know. I hear music that sounds like someones radio is turned way down. Sometimes I hear a news show--same thing--turned way down and I can rarely make out what is being said but I hear all the voice intonations. The pattern is that of the news. Last night I heard something huge snap or clap shut--twice within an hour of each other.

Tonight, to add to the mix, I keep seeing a dark figure standing by me or slightly behind me from the corner of my eye. This has happened recently during the daytime too. Tonight, I also feel like someone is nearby or behind me. It's unsettling.

Is this just part of being bipolar? Or is it not? If not, do you have a clue?

Has anyone else experienced this?
