Does anyone else have sound sensitivity? It comes and goes, especially when I’m feeling agitated/mixed. Been off work 3 days per pdoc and I go back tomorrow because I cannot afford to be off. Today’s been the worst for the sensitivity. I dread going back tomorrow because my workplace is very noisy and often when on the phone with a client a voice hits a certain pitch and I’m cringing; it’s almost painful. I want to hang up and flee. The pdoc is sending me this afternoon to a depression/anxiety group which is senseless and I don’t want to go because it’s weekly but this is the only day I c

BP1 w/ psychosis in normal mood
Closure posted a topic in Bipolar Spectrum Disorder - The Pole Dance
I have brought this up on the schizophrenia/psychoses forum, but one thing I have been wondering is how many of you have been diagnosed as BP1, even though it is clearly acknowledged that one has psychosis in normal mood? This is where I am at right now, which feels weird, since after all does psychosis in normal mood not necessarily rule out bipolar? Of course, for me, my treatment team does not seem to acknowledge that psychosis in bipolar necessarily has to occur in a mood episode. But then, what difference is there between BP1 w/ psychosis in normal mood and SZA bipolar-type? That said, my -
I just joined CB and I didn't really want to make a new thread to whine about myself but I guess I feel a bit scared out here on my own. I'm currently trying to complete my last semester of college, after already having to repeat a year. I'm only taking 1 class, but it's a constant struggle. I can't attend class and I got behind from the start and have yet to fully catch up. I was just diagnosed last year with BPNOS--BP1, with rapid cycling. I was on Lamictal for a bit fall/winter of 2013, but my dad lost his job so there went my insurance, and I just got it back this semester. Back then

At times I can be walking around or whatever and I feel like I'm transforming, I feel this incredible, intoxicating energy, and I feel like I'm becoming a demon, or specifically a kitsune because I've always related to them. I can practically feel the claws and fangs growing. I walk around and I imagine how with such a power, such claws, I could easily kill these puny stupid humans, and I imagine cutting/stabbing them with my razor sharp claws, biting them, essentially, going feral and attacking the heck out of everyone. It's so much fun that it's hard to keep from leering at everyone. I'm gra -
So I don't hallucinate according to my psychiatrist, and I haven't had any psychosis for almost 2 years now. The only psychosis I had was during a severe anti-depressant-fostered manic episode, and even then, I didn't hear voices. However, now, I've been feeling particularily depressed, but with high levels of energy, irritability, and anxiety. I started getting periods of even more severe anxiety than usual (which is usually very severe) which last anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour, and during these periods I get intrusive thoughts - which are my thoughts, and I can't hear them out loud. -
Question How many of us have had jobs or have jobs that you have given up to help with stress? I have a good job, I have a team of 25 people working with me that I am responsible for ( I am the manager). My boss is decent, he is super high strung and sometimes it is a bit much for me. My performance can be inconsistent, I enjoy the challenge at times though I have to say when other things (life) get difficult and I can't focus it really is hard to perform and not come totally unglued. I had mentioned one time to my family doc that i just need to move somewhere quiet and work a low pressure -
WTC!!! (what the crap), I think I have developed GAD or some social phobia or anxiety, recently. Went to the grocery store to pick up a few things 20 minute trip and at the cash register I am exhaling like i just ran a marathon? I have had problems with noise for a while which i attribute to working in factories for a while, the noise of a factory does not bother me. The sounds away from work make me crazy, at stores and at home. This problem of being anxious when shopping in general is kind of new and it is annoying as shit. BP1 with psychotic features is one thing, give me a freaking brea
