I Have Bipolar Disorder 1 and I read a lot of science fiction. I just read "Dune" by Frank Herbert and was left with a weird feeling. (if you haven't read it and you like sci fi, you should, but it deals with a lot religion and stuff.) Anyways, I wished I could be the protagonist who basically becomes a Messiah. This isn't the first time I've experienced this feeling. I read some of Phillip K ****'s stuff and went into a full on delusion of grandeur. That wasn't fun then and this time feels different. More practical, really. Like, I could write a novel that would be like Dune or other epic books. I used to write a lot but with all these darn drugs in my head, it's difficult.
Anyways, thats my story. Do any of you get delusions frequently? They seem to happen to me a lot and I have to stop and look at what I'm doing in order to see the delusion for what it is. How do you deal with them?
