no one is on the board! It's Mother's Day? Hmph, may explain how come my children are playing so well on their own. Their little gift for their somewhat frazzled mother.
> introverts are far more likely to think of
Kat a Wise Owl you'll always be to me! The whole thing is I think we think too much. We think about other's feelings, we think about the enviornment, we think about the future, we think about the past, we think about our relationships, we think about our worth, yaada yaada yada. (Where did I pick up that phrase from? Yaada? From the board? From a particular poster? Oh well I like it.)
>some extroverts who Cannot spend time alone. It's almost a fear.
Now everyone will know I've spent too much time at my psych's office. He's explained to me that an extrovert sees themselves through the reflection of other's perceptions of them. So an extrovert not wanting be left without company reflects what you are saying.

Kat, this was at the point my daughter was getting annoyed with me for plopping away on the pc. Even if my posts were ignored, I would still post away just to hear (or see) myself yap. I am a very verbal introvert.

> -- I always noticed an increase in sensitivity to things as I grew manic. This would turn into a paranoia, like you mention, and then eventually hallucinations, blah, blah, blah.Last week I had, what I would call, a visual hallucination when I was really tired. I went and tried to do a search on visual hallucinations and ended up at illusions, which my visual thing was more of. So here's my latest theory, well it isn't really a recent thinking since I've believed this for a long time but anyway, poor sleep or being sleep deprived really sends the old brain on a "bad trip." I've wondered for a long time if sleep was able to induced if these problems could be avoided.
Infrequently, when I'm really tired I've been dreaming but still awake. What I mean is I've still been standing or whatever, and start dreaming, someone would usually be prodding me verbally out of it. I guess they are easiest described as "mini-dreams." What's my point? Gees, I don't know, perhaps if we could get regular sleep these symptoms wouldn't be as bad.
