Since I've been on Zyprexa I don't hear the voices often.

I've seen shadow people too!!! I didn't know it was a symptom of bipolar so I believed it was real even when I was in a normal state. I believed that I was being followed by spiritual beings and that satan wanted to steal my soul. I've felt hands touch me that were not there. I've heard voices inside my head and outside my head. The ones in my head sound like a bunch of demons whispering frantically and I can never understand what they are saying. The ones outside of my head just call me by name. I believed I was being spiritually attacked until a few weeks ago when I decided to investigate bipolar disorder a bit further from sufferers points of views and their experiences with it. I was shocked to have so much in common with them because I never believed my diagnosis was correct.
