I am not in a mood episode. I am stressed some but otherwise right where I should be. However, I am feeling bugs crawling on me. Does anyone else have weird stuff happen even thought theyre not depressed or manic? Its not very often but I hate it! Is it psychosis or can you just have symptoms?

I should also say my pdoc changed my dx to schizoaffective bp type instead of bp 1 with psychotic features.

Hi HALLIEBETH. I think many people have experienced that at one time or another. Whether or not it is related to your mental illness, or something else, is up to a doctor to determine. Such a feeling could be part of a temporary parenthesia (see Paresthesia - Wikipedia) which could have various causes.

You are aware that bugs aren't crawling on you, right? That kind of awareness seems to ground you in some level of reality. I know that psychosis usually brings with some level of belief, but I know it can waiver and is more complex than that.
