Here's why I'm wondering. My symptoms have gotten worst and DH has noticed stuff that doesn't seem to quite fit with bipolar but does fit with schizoaffective. When we recieved the records for my great great grandmother and great great aunt their diagnosis differed. My great great grandmother was diagnosed as a straight up schizophrenic. My great great aunt was diagnosed as bipolar then schizophrenic then bipolar with schizo characteristics. She would do stuff like spend days basically canatonic and then turn psychotic. She had constant hallucinations and was often paranoid that people were after her, controlling her thoughts, etc.

What's worrying us is, in addition to the hallucinations and usual bipolar symptoms, I've become paranoid and have started always thinking people hate me, are out to hurt me in some way, are lying to me, etc. I'll be talking and can't find the right words, choose the wrong words, make no sense because I'm jumping from topic to topic or because, well, I'm not making sense. I keep hearing voices--usually vague and mumbling--and it's like I have this voice inside my head talking to me. It's not like a usual hallucination--it's like an inner voice, so to speak. I was chalking it up to lack of sleep but they're thing when I've had plenty of sleep, too.

It's scaring me because of the family history on my mom's side. Do you think I'm just dealing with out of control bipolar or possibly schizoaffective disorder?
