need help with racing gibberish voices in head

Rant :angry-cry:

does anyone else get uncontrollable racing gibberish thoughts in there head when their manic/mixed? i’ve been in a mixed manic episode for 2 months now, which included psychosis. ive been diagnosed bipolar for 3 years now but this is my first mixed episode.

the entire time i’ve had these irritating voices in my head saying the most dumb shit 24/7. sometimes they make sense, like they’ll pretend to be a news channel talking about a topic and sometimes they’ll be talking in a language i don’t even know. sometimes they’ll even impersonate someone i know. idk if these are hallucinations bc they are in my head but it feels like other people are controlling my thoughts bc i have absolutely no control over these.

i’m medicated 5mg of abilify (was on 7.5mg but reduced cos side effects) and 50mg of seroquel. these helped for a couple weeks but it’s getting worse again and these voices/thoughts stop me from resting. i can’t even watch tv. does anyone else have this issue if so what did you do to help? i’m getting extremely overwhelmed.

note: i’m seeing my psychiatrist in a couple weeks
