Hey everyone,

So I have a few reasons for posting this. One is I was wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me. A little over 3 years I was diagnosed as bipolar with psychosis. I hear voices, and can get really strong intrusive thoughts that are very dark, violent, negative, strange and filled with paranoia that make it almost impossible to be around people. I hate to admit it, but I almost stabbed a friend when my mind set was in one of those patterns... It's not something I'm proud of. It's like I become a completely different person, think completely differently and do things I normally wouldn't do. Luckily Saphris seems to do a good job at stopping the voices and for the most part stops the intrusive thoughts but even now and then it leaks out a bit. But I know it would be MUCH worse without my meds (I'm on 6 at the moment). So I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there that understands (Even if it's just a little). I've talked to other people who are bipolar, no not other people who experience
psychosis along with bipolar.

My second reason is to ask what exactly do you do whenever you get in those mind sets or hear voices? I could use some new ideas honestly.

Anyway, thanks
