The thing is, it seems there is a range within psychosis itself. I know that when I've spoken with p-docs about my delusions or the possibility of audio-type hallucinations, they seemed to focus on how much of an awareness I had regarding the 'reality' of the stuff I was experiencing. It seemed to me they were trying to decide whether I fell into the BP1 or BP 2 category, then they decided BP2 when I expressed being pretty sure my delusions/hallucinations were not real...or at least, were not what society would call 'real'. Yet, the psychotic stuff still bothers me and causes problems in my life.
