I honestly do not know if it was inside or outside my head, had one yesterday during a stressful time at work..I "heard" low voices and ""saw" an image best described as weird {coiled black rubber like hoses on a circular disk} it was REAL and SCARY. time seemed to stand still.. brought back bad memories {emotions} from childhood. I used to hear these as a child but never knew I was not suppost too. I would welcome mania just to know if I am really bipolar
