Q:
I've started seeing blood and guts and people getting killed. Are you familiar with this?
A:
I call this "horror move hallucinations" and I have observed it several times in bipolar disorder. It is as if a scene is superimposed over what you are naturally hearing and seeing and you cannot get it to stop. For example, a knife may be seen falling from the sky and chopping a nearby man's head off. Or a scene of battle and torture appears as if you are viewing everything through a war movie. It is a product of the brain imbalance in bipolar disorder and usually resolves with mood stabilizers or antipsychotics.

Thats pretty much how it feels. All of them usually involve me though. It's similar to a situation I'm in but twisted. Like if I'm in the car, the scene that plays is a horrible accident that's not real or me jumping out of a moving vehicle etc. I've always been ashamed of these thoughts and I never talk about them much, usually the ones where I'm hurting someone.
