Psychic Ability and BP

Just curious... Thought for awhile my gf just joking when she claimed to be Psychic, she's dead serious. From my vantage i see intuitive intelligence that is off the charts and a lot of false attribution. She also claims it comes and goes. Is there a relationship between thinking you're psychic and BP?

see my last post in cafe central "Penny For Your Thoughts" I have been discussing bipolar and just wrote about the phenomenon you are asking about.

I am bipolar, I am taught to reality check things.
This is a good practice for anyone!
But to answer your question, YES.
Be gentle with her about it.
This is best addressed between her and her counselor.

My AS has claimed to have psychic abilities, mostly when she is actively drinking. I think it can be a characteristic of alcoholism. Google "magical thinking". She may truly believe in what she's experiencing...my thought is that the brain is capable of creating various states of being and types of experiences, and maybe this is one of them.

This is an interesting topic to me. Do I understand it right? Whether people with BP (Bipolar?) have psychic (seeing the future to sum it up to it's most basic meaning) abilities. Do I understand that right? If so that is very interesting to me.

I had never heard that although it wouldn't surprise me. Live - I looked at some of your posts from that thread but didn't see where it was specifically addressed. I mighta missed / misunderstood it.

I will wait to comment more to make sure I understand this right. If anyone has any info on this I would be interested in reading about it - for what it's worth (prob not much ).

Quite seriously, when I was drinking - especially for an extended period - I believed I had all kinds of 'special abilities'

I'm not BP tho...or psychic.

I'm not sure about the whole psychic thing but I'm so much more sensitive than most I literally can feel another's pain when being near them...I also see hear and feel much deeper than most...

I think empathy and compassion is something a little different mx, but I definitely agree a lot of us have that...in spades
