I was diagnosed BP2 a long time ago, and the diagnosis seems to fit. I had mood swings but they were not that severe and did not last that long. I was able to manage them with meds.
Fast forwards many years and I am questioning my diagnosis.
Possible trigger:
Once I got out of the hospital and off of the pain meds life leveled out for me, I was stable for 5 months and was titrating off of some of my meds. Now out of the blue I am not sleeping and aging some hallucinations, I have seen the vans again. And the last two nights I have had conversations with the angels and demons that I at one point thought were part of dreams I was having. But after a second night of seeing them and actually talking to them, I realize that I may have not been dreaming. To me this sounds like BP1??? I am wondering if any BP1 people can tell me if what I am describing sounds like it is BP1, or am I just going through situational induced psychosis?

Are you also experiencing elation, restlessness, feelings of grandeur? Do you have a thirst for excitement?

You can definitely progress from bp2 to bp1. I was originally dxed BP II but then had a full blown manic episode complete with psychosis so here I am. Definitely call your pdoc if you can and get this under control. Good luck to you.

Psychosis during mania means bipolar 1, so the question is whether or not you're experiencing mania. Only a mental health professional can diagnose that.

cant sleep now, I have way too much work to do.I have a very important project to finish, plus if I sleep I will have to listen to them talk to me. So far they are not around too much when I am awake. Saw one in the shed that I was building today. I really want to give my wallet to somebody for safekeeping, I need to save some money in case I need to get out real fast. But I have nobody to ask for help right now. All of my friends are against me.

I cant go to the ER it will only mess up my custody issue, I cant deal with these beings speaking to me. My friend is willing to lock me in her house until I can fall asleep. I am afraid that she is not trustworthy, I cant miss anymore work. Nothing seems like it will work for me. Thinking about dipping into my stash of painkillers, they usually make me sleep. but that is a scary road for me to travel down. I wish my meds would just work.

Psychosis will also interfere with custody issues. And how can you possibly work while you're in this condition? You're past the point where you can hide it...seriously, go to the hospital.

I'm so sorry you are going through such a hard time. It definitely sounds like they have to do so much more to help you as far as getting your meds right. Help is needed asap in a situation like this since I agree with others here and from past experience that psychosis and mania can get increasingly worse without an immediate intervention. I hope you get the help you need. In a situation like this, your health and wellbeing come first so that you do not continue to suffer like this. Hugs.

Just woke up on the ward. Don't remember much. They shot me up with some stuff. I slept. No dreams. So far I have not seen the Angels or demons. I still have so much work to do. I need to see this pdoc and get out of here.

Anyway. I hope the doctor shows up soon. I think he/she will. I'm sure everything you have to do can wait until you get out and you feel better.
