You know, for the longest time I thought that when I was manic, my hallucinations couldn't possibly be real, because who in the world hears a radio in her head? I mean, really!

Then I found out that the radio in the head during an affective episode is really, really common. Mine was total gibberish for the most part, but I'd get really miserable when it "stuck" on a station for a bit and my dang headradio could only play really sappy love songs. I don't mind love songs, mind you, but these were like an auditorily induced diabetic coma. I was so glad when it went back to static!
