What are your first symptoms of a manic/psychosis?
I’ve had bipolar 1 my whole life but I got diagnosed almost 10 years ago. I’ve been to the metal hospital with a frequency of once or twice a year. I tried lithium but was taken off bc it caused hypothyroidism. Summer 2023 I had a horrible manic episode and was prescribed Geodon, Prolixin & prn’s of Klonopin, Saphris Black Cherry, Thorazine & Ambien. The last 10 years have been wild & hard. I’m currently considering using High Magick to merge my Ego with the Divine & transcend reality as a cure for Bipolar 1 w Psychotic Features. Also all this UFO/Alien stuff it causing stress. I have to keep a low stress lifestyle to manage this illness. I’m about to graduate from peer support & I have a case manager and a WONDERFUL CBT Therapist! My first symptoms are lack of sleep, trouble concentrating, pressured speech, delusions of grandeur & rage.
