1)Why am I have tactile hallucinations. This has never been a thing. (Current med list: abilify, lamictal, prazosin, vit. D

2)How do you be ballsy enough to do your own reality checking? I thought giant sea urchin spider hybrids were attacking me last night and I was 60% certain they were fake but they looked so real so I ran out of the room (not gonna lie there was a little bit of cussing going on), slammed the door, breathed deeply, and after about 10 minutes I went back in and inspected every inch of the room. I swear I'm going to hear laughing and I'm going to reality check and get my head shot off.

3)Did I just have a 7 month hypo/manic/mixed episode? Is it even possible for an episode to last that long In March/April I slept quiet well, then from then on it was 0-4 hours a night, but Tuesday night, 14 hours. I was always hyped, just varying between "let's start a band, move in, and search for more members TOMORROW!" to "I'm too Godly for food, sleep, water, and shelter" to "Toooooo much hype, gonna smoke meth to calm down (because that's a thing...) and, well, a lot of it's documented in this forum too but I'm not sure if it spanned as long as the sleeplessness (I can go back and look though).

4)Is this "the crash?" There's Tuesday's sleep. Last night I only got two but I took two naps today. I don't even feel hungry anymore which isn't going to help my case. I feel tired for the first time that I can remember. I was having all these physical symptoms before, but I was pushing through like a madman. Yesterday I did absolutely nothing for the band other than take the facebook down and created a new one that didn't have a pic looking like me or information about me (there are several people after me now and I need to be safe).

----
(5)Kinda off topic, but how do they help you out with ADHD without meds 9that you can't take because of mania and psychosis?

1) I suspect your still manic
2) my dog does my reality checks. If she's not barking it's in my head.
3) yes
4) maybe or maybe a moment of clarity
5) there's no stimulant ADHD medicine

You may well be having hallucinations because of lack of sleep and lack of nutrition. You also quit several meds and it could be withdrawals. You have so much going on like lack of a home, inconsistent care that I am reluctant to ascribe any one thing. You really need a consistent period of time in a stable environment to heal. Did your care worker ever get back to you on living arrangements?

I signed an applications to a general residential and asked for applications to two SUD residentials that will help you find a job and transition into sober living. My CW is still waiting for applications/responses from a bunch of other places.

I've had a singular roof over my head for a whole week now

MuddyBoots, my doc brought up non stimulant ADHD meds when they suspected it, considering I abuse substances. Strattera I believe it was called.

For checking reality of situations, hm I'd try to find a constant variable like VictoriasMom alluded to. Something that you know will always be there, in the same way
