So I know that psychosis can be a co-traveller of mania, especially in bipolar 1. I'm worried that I might be experiencing delusions in my depressive periods. Does anybody else experience this?

I do. Psychotic features so up in all my mood swings.

When I went to the ER with suicidal ideation last fall, I saw black and grey cats running under the linen supply carts. Before that I'd never had hallucinations outside my manic episodes. It was kind of scary.

Yes- I had some really scary delusions that felt really real. One of them was about my parents arranging my marriage with my ex-husband. When you're in those weak moments- especially if you recognize that you're being manic- you need to let someone in your support system know what's going on.

I've heard a voice telling me I'm stupid, I'm not sure what state I was in but I was very depressed & agitated so im guessing a mixed state (agitated depression)

I've believed demons were trying to convince me to commit suicide. I've also heard overwhelming and very creepy voices that would sometimes interact with me.

My scariest psychosis was when I was depressed- it may have been a mixed episode, but defintely more depressed than anything. I had images of me killing my (then) 11 year old daughter. It seemed so real- I was so afraid I had done it/would do it.
May this not happen to you. If it does- get help right away!
