I'm just wondering if anyone has ever been diagnosed as Bipolar I plus Psychosis? I only know one other person with it and I get along with him better than anyone. It seems like most people don't understand what the hell we're talking about half the time. Hell...We don't even know what we're talking about half the time.

I've met Bipolar I people without psychosis and Bipolar II/Cyclothemia and though they're a bit closer than the average person, they still don't seem on the same wave length.

Another thing, if you or someone you know had it did they take medication? If not, how well did they deal with it. After reading the John Nash biography "A beautiful Mind" and finding out he stopped taking meds at about age 30 and never went back on them made me decide to ditch my meds, atleast for a while. I've been off them for a few months now and all is well. I'm never violent during my psychotic breaks, atleast not towards living things (just walls and stuff).
