I've been doing a lot of thinking, trying to list all my symptoms of bipolar, and I have just realized something.
when i am driving my car and the car behind me turns when I do,i sometimes get scared and think they may be following me (even though I really know they aren't) when i am on the phone i be careful about what i say because i think someone m ay be listening to what i am saying (although i really know that is probably not true) when I am at my apartment I try to be quiet, because i sometimes think that someone is outside my door listening in....but i really know that they probably aren't... when I am driving i am so scared that someone is going to jump out in front of my car..... i get paranoid a lot but i know that what i'm paranoid about probably isn't real......any thoughts?? |

Right there with you. I find that it is heightened when I am toward the depressed side. Do you have social anxiety as well as bipolar? Sometimes OCD can cause the thoughts.
I work with my T on these thoughts and they seem to come and go for me. I am having them currently. Last night I was getting into my car and I thought someone was in the bushes ready to attack. Like you, I get paranoid when I see cars driving past or if it turns with me. |

I think like that too and also have anxiety and OCD. Didn't put it together tho for some reason.

I am not diagnosing anyone here, but I know that for me, the symptoms are associated with the social/anxiety and OCD as well as the bipolar.
