Hi
I am diagnosed bipolar
But I'm wondering if I'm maybe schizoaffective
I have all of the symptoms I can identify
Except I don't have audio or visual hallucinations
What got me thinking about this is that I have a pronounced experience of being many rather than one
I have a pronounced need to isolate
And when I'm alone I talk to myself relentlessly
It dawned on me that I feel crowded by other people because I experience myself as already being a crowd
When I am alone the experience is that I am spending time w others that are within me
This is what got me thinking about schizoaffective
But again, no hallucinations
Paranoia, delusion, dissociation, mania, depression, the rest...
All there
Does anyone have any insight?
Very appreciative if anyone can share ...
