I thought I was the person with the highest IQ in the world. I recognized that I was psychotic but believed I understood my brain so well that my psychosis couldn’t effect me and instead was manifesting itself into reality (which is weirdly backwards and circular).

I believe I’m the victim of psychic vampires (my parents), that I was Scota and danu, and that I need soul retrieval. I have no idea this shit is false as it’s occuring. I’m addicted to mania and am an alcoholic. I’m truly powerless over my illness and am going nowhere in my life.

I use to think people were in the back of my car and hiding wanting to attack me

Twice I swore I was pregnant. Once when I was on the pill so I might have been but the other time I wasn't even having sex. I kept buying pregnancy tests because I knew I had to be. 😂 Mostly my psychotic episodes are of the paranoid type though. People talking about me and laughing when I'm in a restaurant, husband plans on leaving me, landlord is going to rape me....stuff like that. When I'm manic though, I get delusions that I can do projects, mostly for other people with a deadline, that are totally unrealistic. Like sew a wedding dress in a week or paint every room in the house in 2 days

one time I got this idea that a guy in a smoke shop had the hots for me. I'd go in there to buy my husband's cigarettes and one time I made an invitation to my birthday party and gave it to him. He was so flustered. I don't know if he even read English but he went into the back area and a woman came out. Neither of them spoke English very well but I figured out by then that he hadn't been flirting with me. I got out of there and never set foot in there again. Looking back, I wonder about myself 🤣🤣🤣 Depending on whether it's depression, mania or mixed, I either think everyone wants me or everyone is laughing at me. I've never figured out a good solution except to avoid people. I'm doing better on meds but old habits linger. I still tend to isolate

I got Very into the whole witch/spirituality thing and ended up stealing herbs at my work for rituals (luckily wasn't caught). Brought crystals with me everywhere. I thought I was "spirituality powerful" enough to potentially control wind and see into the future. I also felt the presence of George Harrison in my room near the end of that particular episode.. it was definitely something, but at least it wasn't based in anxiety

Before I went on my meds I had a fear that the police were going to get me and put me away for a crime I didn't commit. I would be like looking out my windows.

I have bipolar disorder and narcolepsy. I have audio hallucinations from my narcolepsy. I do have the feeling of bugs biting me. I don't know if that is a hallucination or a nerve problem

For me it was FBI. They were going to meet me in a cul-de-sac by my house. I got dressed as if I was a queen undercover and walked myself to this random cul-de-sac. I just waited for a random car to pick me up. So dangerous. Thank God I walked back home and am now on medication 🙏

For 6 months I could hear Metallica playing in my house. Another time I saw elephants dancing out of my wall

Thought the trees were evil aliens, that i was an Angel and refused to eat for a good two days, and thought i had a symbiote inside me

I thought I was being followed because I kept hearing (auditory hallucination) cans klinking together in the trees

Someone had hacked my phone (mentor, government agency, Illuminati) as was showing me how to transition. In reality it was the devil guiding me into his own trap. Coming to certain mental conclusions could kill me. My girlfriend was placed into my life by scientists. All the hot nurses were tests. I would write things in my notes app if my phone. Quit it. Go back and there would be a response. Whatever I wrote in my phone notes would then happen around me.

I've literally had the same delusion that someone is in love with me like four times and a few times multiple people are in love with me at the same time. I thought I was schizophrenic because it just kept coming back but reading into that specific type of delusion (erotomania), and talking to my therapist, it's apparently pretty common for people with bipolar especially when it cycles like that and its with different people each time 🤷‍♀️

capgrass, paranoia (mostly involving men wanting to hurt me or sexually assult me), possession, angels speaking to me, cameras being hidden in my room (I think my sister had a hand in this since she would tell me there were cameras in my teddy bear growing up), and that I was certian fictional characters in a past life.
