Does any of you have synaesthesia?
I don't, but I ask this because in a way it is transcending the senses, transcendence and/as conceptual and perceptual (as with objects/percepts) transcending being common in psychotic disorders (mostly so during mania). In a way, but not a typical, strictly synaesthetic way, the changes in the largely autonomous, bodily processes we experience during mania (and depression) could be seen as a form of synaesthesia.

I am a synesthete. I can "taste" colors and words, and I see numbers and letters in colors. I've only tried to describe it to a very few people because they think it's weird, but I've been this way my whole life, and I used to have no idea that not everyone has this. It's not totally uncommon among bipolar folks from what I understand.

So now I'm depressed you need my old threads as a substitute for inspiration?
 It's getting boring here, right?  Not really. Stories are great. Broader topics too, though. See! There are probably not many with synaesthesia, though. I wanted to ask, BipolaRNurse, or anyone else that is a synaestete: does it intensify when manic? Interesting answers to some of the other threads. The only topic I can think of now is depression. Should be dealt with more broadly, in general, as well. A guide for those who are lost. Like me now. There is a best way out, but my memory is just clouded, so let's write it down for our future selfs.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
