Thanks in advance to all that respond.
Greetings -
I have the same diagnosis, and I can thank this site for it. I never knew what was going on with me. I even suspected paranormal activity! but it was happening too often and I noticed that after I had a long lasting mood swing (about 5 days or so), when that subsided the hallucinations and hearing things started up again. I just got over a rage-filled week and after finally calming down, I started seeing things out of the corner of my eye - flashes, shadows, people. And the knocking on the door, crashes, bangs, voices. It seems when one disorder stops another begins. I know this may sound weird but after 20 years of never really fitting in to any one category I was relieved when I saw others going thru the same thing (on this site especially). At least I know I'm not alone!
