Thank you WLFTW, for that thorough response to my question. I found it very interesting and it has me doing some serious thinking. Somewhere I read that a person was experiencing flashes of something in their peripheral vision.....I believe that was under a "Psychotic" heading. It caught my eye (so to speak) because I have the feeling that that's what I've been experiencing. Just a quick, fleeting glance of something. I don't want to confuse it with "floaters"......those common things on the eyeball that most of us develop as we get older. I definitely had psychosis during my one and (hopefully) only manic episode and I'm really questioning if I might have something a bit more. Well, at least I would be in good company

All the best,
