I become more religious and/or superstitious when I'm really anxious or manic. When I feel stable, I don't really feel the need for religion or prayer as much. I become more down to earth and pragmatic (not that there is anything wrong with religion, I think at my baseline, I'm just not that religious). Weird.
Yeah, it's bizarre.

I wish there were some good research studies on why our beliefs change like that.

I don't think anxiety changes my beliefs, but depression and hypo/mania do.
Thanks for this!
