yes. i think that's why i was diagnosed along the schizophrenia-spectrum until I was "accurately diagnosed" (note the sarcasm). anyway...

i didnt know this until recently, but they lump all kinds of stuff under Bipolar I, including some episodes of psychosis, dissociative stuff, and even writing way, way too much (Hypergraphia). so...

hopefully, if you choose to go for treatment, that will help prevent or reduce the intensity of anything that comes up in the future.
