The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

My mood has been decent, with fits of agitation and anger every now and again. I've been having flashes of ideations every now and again, but my primary problem has been the tactile, visual, and olfactory hallucinations I've been experiencing. Thankfully, I have an appointment with my doctor at the end of the month.
You should try to get in to your doc earlier. What you are experiencing sounds like severe symptoms. I am praying for you.
I call once a day to see if my doctor has any appointments, but her receptionist told me she won't see me until my appointment. I still call anyway, which makes her mad. I need a new psychiatrist.

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. If you can't get in to see your doctor sooner would you consider going through emergency? I would say don't be afraid to go that route if you feel the need to.
I will be seeing my therapist tomorrow and tell him what's going on. He has been very good about saying, "we can wait on that" or "get thee to the hospital."
Okay that's good to know. What you were describing made me nervous because I'm bipolar 1 also and I know what it is to be full blown psychotic and you were sounding on your way. Now I feel relieved.
I may be on my way, but I plan on making a few pit stops along my journey. I've never had a psychotic episode, though I have been manic before, and my mania features with all kinds of "fun" ideations and hypersexuality.
I hear ya. I've been in the hospital 4 times and each time it seemed worse. I was even put in a padded room once just because I was suicidal.My hallucinations have stopped. Unfortunately, my medicine also seems to have stopped working, and I have been increasingly agitated, overconfident, and prone to hypersexuality--classic signs of mania for me. I really, really don't want to go back to the hospital right now. A 72-hour hold is not fun.
