And I have only had hallucinations when I have had plenty of sleep.

And in regards to the comment that I have had a lot of Psych's you need to go read the comment I made to the user "Christina".
Hi, I mentioned I was giving your my personal, unprofessional opinion in my post for that very reason—I'm not a doctor. I do have Bipolar I disorder and have educated myself quite a bit about my condition, but my opinion , along with others' on this forum, are no substitute for a psychiatrist's.

That said, I don't think think I deserve to snapped at. I didn't attack you in anything I said. If I came across that way, I apologize. It certainly wasn't my intention. You asked for opinions, and I simply gave you mine.

You're right in that they absolutely can occur together. There actually is a very high comorbidity between Bipolar 2 and BPD. From your original post, what you described there sounded more like hypomania than mania to me, but again, I'm not a doctor. I can't make a diagnosis.

If your hallucinations are occurring frequently and while you are rested, that is concerning and must be distressing. There are a number of different conditions that could be causing it, and I hope you find a psychiatrist that will stick with you to help you get to the bottom of it.
