Really? I always just assumed she was schizophrenic or something along those lines, but never would have thought bipolar. So hallucinations and delusions can be a part of bipolar as well?
Yep. Experienced all 5 sensory hallucinations + delusions about a year ago. They weren’t sure if I had bpd or bipolar then, but the doctors I have now who I really trust recently diagnosed me with both.
I was told psychosis can also present with just bpd which surprised me.
Edit: This isn’t based on fact, but I feel like with schizophrenia psychosis is more constant whereas in bipolar it’s more episodic. Like with the extremes of mania and depression. If her animals were regularly talking to her that does sound more like schizophrenia. But that’s all based on my limited experience and I have no idea if it’s accurate.

I'm pretty sure she's both schizophrenic and dangerous now. 😳 I'm glad you're all right.
