Hopelessness is inversely correlated with psychosis severity for anything from BPD to SZ. So the more severe your "illness" is, the less likely you are to die from it.

The word isn't helpful. It's a form of denial. It is you (completely; mentally; every bit of you) that has a problem, not some isolated part of you.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
