I think these reactions can be part of Bipolar. ....for SOME people.

Late post but wanted to comment..../
I don't necessarily think the sensory overload is bipolar for everyone either. I have an anxiety disorder as well and it "seems" from what my P-Doc tells me my hypersensitivity to light/sound/etc. is from my anxiety not being in check. I'm not sure...we're trying to tweak it among other things at the moment. In fact I've never read anywhere in symptoms of Bipolar that sensory overload is a symptom (though I guess technically hypomania as result of depression could certainly be an example).
Either way hope you've gotten the help you've needed Christy!
