overall im MUCH better at managing symptoms but i mean 4 dr have all said bc i get halluincations and fixed delusions with paranoia even whenim not in a mood episode that its SZA. thoughts? i remember some crazy stuff ive done such as thinking satan was attacking and controlling me. id self harm bc i thought he was making me even in IP. then id carry and cross around inmy pocket and sing praise music to protect myself. i dont do that when im stable lol

I don't really know. I definitely have had disorganized thoughts, but I don't think every time I get psychotic I get them. One of my prior docs said other docs probably thought I had psychotic disorganized thoughts when in reality I just have severe ADHD and have read a lot of textbooks so things may seem "disconnected" but if I'm asked I can explain the connection and it actually makes sense.

I too am in the "is it sza or bp?" mystery zone, but honestly it doesn't make a difference. Antipsychotics are treatment either way. Just not always 100% a necessity in all bipolar cases.
