After my first (and second) psychotic breaks, I experienced psychosis where I completely lost all touch with reality...thought people could hear my thoughts and were speaking to me through body language, hand gestures and facial expressions (basically nonverbally). I get very paranoid and would have hallucinations and delusions. I'm currently on a mood stabilizer which is helping but lately I've been having trouble staying asleep. I know I'm not experiencing hypomania because I'm not staying up all night hand writing a manifesto but rather laying in bed thinking: "****, I would do anything to fall back asleep and stay asleep." Because I'm getting such fragmented sleep, I've been seeing figures in the corner of my eye all the time. And seeing flickers of moving vibrant colors. I don't do drugs. Could this be hallucinations from sleep deprivation? Or symptoms? I started on Haldol again as a precautionary measure to avoid any future possible psychotic episodes... Anybody else have similar symptoms?
My diagnosis ranges from schizoaffective disorder to bipolar 1 depending on which dr you speak with...

Schizoaffective/ bipolar type here. I get those black figures out of the corner of my eyes when I'm tired and under a lot of stress. IMO it's hallucinations, symptoms.

They don't scare me. Although it's a hallucination I feel it's a gift to see spirits.

I have same diagnosis and I get the same thing and have had those for years. Also when off medications I hear things like telephone ringing and someone knocking on the door. After a while the door knocking one gets irritating when you keep going to the door for no reason. |

I got so accustomed to the voices I didn't even turn my head anymore to see who was talking!

I'm also a Schizoaffective as well. The one thing is I've hallucinated people's facial expressions. Everyone at home and at public places would have the meanest glare and frown and their mouths would move to the voices I am hearing. I also see people with no faces and animals. Not something I want to see. It's tough but I manage to brush it off. If you need clarification/reassurance, IM me and I'll tell you they are not real. Have you tried white noise? Maybe that will help you sleep. SimplyNoise -- The Best Free White Noise Generator on the Internet.
I do hope you will feel better.
