I have a different diagnosis than you, Bipolar 1, but I have experienced the delusions and hallucinations, especially during manias. I have a lot of memories that didn't happen in objective reality. I just think of them as experiences like any other. I've had the opportunity to have intense experiences of euphoria that most people will never approach. I know they were all in my head, but I don't care. They are experiences that were for me alone. They will always be a part of me. I have chosen a more stable, moderate path now, with the help of my arsenal of pills, lol. On the whole, I'm happier now. Euphoria can be draining, it tends to lead to a crash. I learned a lot from the insanity, so now I can live a more balanced life with some extra wisdom I might not have otherwise had. Just because it wasn't real for others doesn't mean it wasn't real for you. Learn from it, and use the experiences to help build the you that you want to be.

Original Message They're crippling me to think all that I believed for ten years was fake - just in my head. I'll survive. How have others among you coped?
