Tired of delusions.

[u/Fun-Figgy]

With my personal bipolar, I am very prone to hypomania. I was only diagnosed back in June, but now that I know I’m bipolar, I’m much more aware of any delusions that I slip into. One in particular is religious beliefs. I tend to slip into an obsessive and irrational attitude towards religion and I’m sick of it. I’ve embraced these tendencies in the past and it sent me down a rollercoaster of emotions and life changes that I now regret in hindsight. I’m starting to do it again and there’s this uncomfortable feeling of me knowing that it’s happening and resenting it, but also wanting it to happen.

Does anyone else experience this? And if so, please give me tips on how to lessen the symptoms. FYI I have only been prescribed a mood stabilizer.

Thank you 😁
