Also try to think about the upside to any worry: e.g., if a plane crashing into your house, it is very unlikely you'll notice any of it.


The psychotic bit may be true bit worrisome. Never even thought about that. The one thing I worry about most with BP is psychosis. Maybe I was a bit paranoid at the time? Ive been switched to saphris and maybe its not doing its job?! Now you got me thinking. Maybe anxiety triggered a bit of psychosis? The only time i recall having true psychosis is when I had a black out panic attack and lost the ability to talk. I somehow drove home but later in the day started hallucinations. I came too and did some self harm too. Only time Ive had this and could tie it to anxiety and an attack.
