I was just diagnosed with bipolar with psychotic features and im really scared. Is there anyone else whos diagnosed ?

I have bipolar with psychotic features and ive heard voices since 2020

My voices started as whispers and now they say short sentences.

Does anyone else's voice have this same progression ?

i have been living in psychosis for 9 months maybe even 12 if we include the build up, it started off with paranoia and an obsession with protecting myself from radio waves and boats watching me (im coastal) it escalated and i ended up thinking the army was after me and trying to control my mind so i put tinfoil up on all my windows, i lived with foil on my windows for months and i didnt leave my house once, i heard voices telling me to walk into the sea which i did and thats how i ended up in hospital.

its taken a year to find the right medical help and meds but im mostly out of it now, i still cant shake the fear that i have a chip in my head and thats how they are calling me all these horrible things.

i think im getting better in that regard but im suffering badly with lack of motivation, depression, exhaustion.

i just needed to get this off my chest, thanks for any who read it

Hey guys, I have autism and I get overwhelmed at the slightest tasks, especially brushing my teeth.

When I get overwhelmed I have psycogenic seizures and I've been having a lot of them lately.

I spend 14 hours a day minimum in bed.

I was diagnosed with this in the UK but not really sure what it means

I have for the past 8 months had foil up on all my windows to stop people spying on me and to try and stop the voices from the chip in my head.

But the past month I have took it all down. I see this as a small victory and largely down to a massive increase in antipsychotics.

Ive also had a decrease in voices but cant shake the belief that I have a chip in my head as part of some experiment.

But im getting there with meds.

Just wondering what others experiences are ?

Ive just been diagnosed schizophrenia and I've been on olanzapine 15mg for 3 months and its drastically reduced my psychosis but I still have voices.

I was wrongly diagnosed as bpd for 5 years before I was diagnosed as bipolar and hospitalised twice.

I really hate the health system and psychiatrists who missed this for years.
