I want to know if this situation is possible for my diagnosis. I have not told my therapist about my girlfriend's and I's shared psychosis.

When we had first met we were 11 & 12 years old. (I was older) We completely understood one another, because we eventually shared that we had believed that characters in a story book are real. Such as other supernatural and fantasy like things. My friends told me that they hated her and that I obsessed over her. Talking about her all the time. In class, on the bus, at home. This is around the time my depression had started. (We both honestly talked for 6+ hours a day)

Her story is that her father had committed suicide and that he had left her with an abusive mother. My story is much different then her's. I was a happy child until this show and story book. A character had effected me so much that I began to believe that the character was real due to what the character had said in one quote. My parents only lacked communication and their parenting was completely different, my father pushed me around and yelled a lot. I had a lot of guilt for sexual thoughts, mainly because I am afraid of touching due to a movie I had seen. (It involved rape of a minor)

For months we had both desperately tried to get into contact with these fictional beings. And she had ended up hallucinating and my hallucination were more subtle. We were both not aware that they were hallucinations. I was more driven than her.

Our relationship as partners had turmoil only now I understand my acts were of a possible manic episode. In August 2012 I had another episode that may have been related to mania, I set a fire to my house around 2 am and left, and was in the hospital for about two weeks. I came out diagnosed with Psychotic Depression and a possibility of Bipolar and ADD.

(I have communicated with this fictional character and have seen this character.)

I'm now able to question my delusions, but wish not to. It was really strong while I was in the hospital and the delusional thoughts tend to disappear when they are not being threatened, it allows me to question them. She is not questioning them at all. She has also not been diagnosed with anything, she has not tried to see if she has any mental disorders.

I would talk to your therapist. I can't say it is not possible, as my son sees the same creature during psychosis that I see during my psychosis. I have every intention of talking to my psychiatrist, if I can ever get there. The only thing different in mine and your situation is my son and I never talked about what I see in my hallucinations, he thought I only heard voices. . He came home after being gone for 2 years and had my creature tattooed on his back, when I questioned him about it, he said he sees it sometimes.
