Bipolarchick -

I am responding here to some of your ad ons:

- don't worry too much about what your brother thinks - his opinion is of little significance unless he is a qualified psychiatrist; please do not expect him to understand this from a medical profession; opinions he passes are merely personal opinions are not necessarily the truth

- I do not think you are making any of this up; please discuss this with your psychiatrist; there could be a medical explanation for this

- you have described these as flashbacks that never happened; ask your pdoc for the medical term for this

- you have described these as "false flashbacks" similar to the ones that you experienced during ptsd except they are described as "fasle"; yes; this is interesting
and I am wondering if you did have ptsd if you were seeing a psychologist at the time; perhaps your psychologist could also discuss these "false flashbacks" with you

- you said you have read up on paranoia and eliminate this as a possibility; okay; good; lets eliminate options; it gets you closer to the possible underlying cause of this
