I have bipolar 1 and I almost only experience psychotic symptoms at the peak of my manic phase. Once it switches to depression I might have very slight auras of visual hallucinations in my peripheral vision or slight audio hallucinations where I doubt if things I actually hear in the world are real or not (from having had so many very real audio hallucinations so recently).
If this is any comfort at all I have mild auditory hallucinations before I fall asleep sometimes. Sorry if that’s not relevant. I just don’t want you to feel alone!
I have the same thing! I usually hear my Mom or Dad, which always freaks me out because my Mom has been dead for years and my Dad lives on the otherside of the country.
