I would say this is a reaction to the medication. Makes you feel “zoned out” at times and then your mind just wanders. I can definately relate. I manage social service websites for people who are also living with bipolar and typically I have heard of this type of “over-analyzing”. It is described as really getting inside of yourself or something along those lines. Anyway, just keep up the blogging. As bipolar sufferers we have to unite and share experiences and learn from one another! Thanks for your blog post!

You may want to consult with your psych for a change of medication. I see this entry is quite old already, how are you doing now? I’m on Zyprexa combined with Depakote and rather stable.

Hallucinations definitely is a result of the medications and also a result from withdrawing from the medications when getting off them. To learn more, please feel free to visit my site:

I know exactly what you are talking about. It happens to me. I am on seroquel. But I kind of like when my mind starts thinking like that, except i know that it can be overwhelming. Seroquel has been good for me but my body has become addicted to it. I cannot sleep without it at all. I want to be weened off of it but i dont think they will ween me because i am “responding so well” to my meds. I am also on trileptal. I don’t know. my hope is that i eventually wont have to be on anything. I just want to love well for the rest of my life. thats all

Hi there! This is my first post in here. I must say that you and I have quite a bit in common! I’ve been reading your stuff and I can relate to so much of it. Never mind the fact that we both have bi polar (and probably various other crap). I am always blanking out like that. Its like I go from being there like every other normal person going through their routines. Then all of a sudden, I find myself (I wouldn’t call it hallucinating, rather…a high leveled form of contemplation). I think it is a combination of our “disorder”, medication and imagination. After all, we bi polars and those others that share a mental illness are known to be the most imaginative of humans. I myself have taken trips all the way back in time. I try to stay away from role playing video games because they seem to trigger this “out of body experience.” In any case, I am glad to know that I am not alone.

Wow.. I could completely understand and relate to your over-active analysis of people. I do that too often. I go into thinking trances and go over board with my dissecting mind. I was like that before the medicine and I am still like that with the medicine. I think way too much into everything I gaze at. One thing that I did often as a young teen was catch a glance at a passer by while in the car and wonder what they had going on in their life, wonder if they were sad or happy, did they just get fired or just got their heart broken, do they hate themselves or are they vane…. I could put myself in their shoes and feel what I thought they were feeling. All of this would flash through my mind in the matter of seconds of our paths crossing, almost if time slowed every time I would look at another person.
