I become convinced I'm being recruited by religious sects when manic. I feel like all these signs put in front of me are people manipulating me into joining a religion. It's very distressing. Last manic episode, I thought I was being stalked by a religious cult. My son's friend was staying with us, and I kicked him out because I was sure he was part of it. (Don't worry, he had an even better place to go to, he's safe)
I get very spiritual when manic, but I do tell myself it's probable psychosis. I hope I can get into a religion and I hope it will help me, rather than hurt me in the future. Something is steering me towards Mormonism, Which is strange because I primarily identify as atheist. I don't believe in religious texts. But something about what the Mormons have in their eyes.....they look sincere to me.
