If I’m going to go manic or have a mixed state I get agitated and stop sleeping. If I’m going to have a major depressive I start sleeping too much. I don’t know the warning signs of a psychotic episode other than things just seeming surreal.

Ruminating, then racing thoughts and trouble sleeping.

I’m in a hospital gown eating a lumpy bowl of oatmeal with a bunch of loud people fighting over the remote.

Trouble sleeping, delusions of granduer, talking too much or talking to myself.
asking yourself a relentless amount of questions, getting your own answers and then asking questions again…
I stop thinking and I start talking what the voices say. I also have arguments with them!

.insomnia… Sleep paralysis
Paranoia. It’s usually subtle stuff like why are people saying what they are saying. Why use that word…I get a little off and paranoia is not that far away.

Ego-syntonic insomnia, or having more energy, is the first sign I get of the onset of mania or hypomania. The lack of critical thinking that comes with the mania then leads to delusions.

My voices get a lot more intense narrating everything I do. Lel
I become more paranoid. I can’t sleep. I start talking obsessively to myself. I experience a lot of agitation. I have been known to become abusive/aggressive. This all before voices begin dogging me.
Paranoia - which makes me horrible to the mental health team. They know when i start slagging them off that im probably not well.
My last rant was when the council put in new smoke alarms, and i had to email the company to make sure there wasnt microphones in them. Que me swearing blu murder at them for allowing it 
I always end up leaving some diatribe on the Duty answerphone apologising profusley - and telling them i love them all haha.
For me the first thing I notice is this strange feeling all around me. It’s like the atmosphere has sort of got this strange exciting energy… Basically both times i have been psychotic it was always exciting at the start.

Getting irritated at ch*t
Distancing myself from my dear family suddenly
The 'noias:
“Why’d they say that?”
“What did they mean by that?”
“Do they want to kill me?”
…Stuff like that.
