When I had textbook mania, to a psychotic level. I literally thought I was God, I had paranoid delusions that something or someone was out to get me, I began to have mild hallucinations,...
Finally, my wife brought me to the ER, where I started screaming in impatience," ok, I admit it, I am God! I am God!"

It was pure mania, I had to be put in a straight jacket and shot up with Thorazine or some tranquilizer to knock me out.
They put me on Depakote, seroquel and some sedative I cant remember just for a week or so.
I recovered quickly to sanity, but that episode in 2010 led me to finally accept the diagnosis that I am indeed bipolar 1.
