Dylanzmama, we have alot in common. It's been three years since I had a manic episode to end all manic episodes. Delusions, hallucinations (auditory, visual, tactile, and olefactory)......it was my first and only mania and I didn't get my BP1 diagnosis until after it. I have a son who has a mental illness and two sisters who are not in my life. I have a husband who is wonderful. I didn't steal a car but Seroquel has helped me, too. (Hmmmmm. I wonder if we're the same person. ) Welcome to PC. I hope it will be as helpful for you as it has been for me. All my best.....grey
