About 6 months or so ago, after days of little sleep and being very hyper, I had a long and terrifying hallucination. I was woken up by it. It's a long story. But my pdoc said it was BP and upped my Abilify (I'm now on the highest therapeutic dose) and that helped a great deal.

Then last night, I woke up to another hallucination. A woman's voice said "Psssst" and then said what was said on a commercial on TV just before it was said (I keep my TV on at night, but the voice was clearly in my room, not on the TV). OMG it was terrifying. I really thought someone was there. But I kept telling myself that last time no one was there, so this time there wasn't either. Luckily, it was also far shorter and less elaborate than what happened last time.

At least this time, I don't think it has to do with BP. I haven't had any symptoms and I think it's stress and anxiety, which I have had more of recently.

Has anyone been woken up by such hallucinations? And has your pdoc told you that it's a as a result of BP or some sort of sleep disorder/issue, due to stress/anxiety?

I hope it doesn't happen again, it's just so scary!
