I'm new to this forum and it's my first post. It's 4 am and I've been up for an hour. All is silent around me, but my mind is filled with loud chatter. It's almost amplified to the degree where it feels like your in a football stadium with thousands of fans.

I'm curious if fellow bp's out there feel the same way too. My mind is telling me yes. I just wanted to share my thoughts.

When I am hypo/manic my head gets very loud too.

My mind is always racing and its very loud in my head .. Most days I just can ignore it other days its not so easy .

I never really had that symptom, but during my single severe manic episode I had chanting in my head 24/7. It was so persistent that it didn't even stop when I tried to sleep. After a couple days of this, I went into severe psychosis.

I too have experienced pychosis twice in my life and the last one was severe as well. Really scary moment for me and my family. The second one was a couple of days after I gave birth and it frightened me so bad that I didn't think I was going to make it and thought I was going to be institutionalized for the rest of my life. For nearly two weeks I was separated from my newborn. Somehow I gained the strength to overcome the challenges. It took me a year after my son was born to commit to seeing a therapist and accepting my disorder. Very few know about my condition and what happened to me. It's comforting to know that I'm not lane and finding this support group.
