Last year I was reading books about geniuses, and sure enough, I started believing I was a genius

I'm not a pdoc, but I think that hallucinations are psychotic symptoms. The intensity of the symptoms vary in different people, both over time and with each episode, and there are triggers which make them worse. Your sensation of someone pressing down on your body would be really creepy. I've not experienced anything like that, that I can remember.

I have voices trying to convince me to kill myself, from time to time, so I get where you're coming from. Nasty voices, no good, and you have to fight them off, or grit and grin. Glad to hear you have a therapist; make good use of him or her.
I totally agree with your post. Last time I was manic, I wanted to read this book called "Manic" but wasn't able to follow it. I get voices commanding me to do things. And I think people are following or chasing me. I think also that people are aliens and can read my mind. I get voices fighting inside my head- fighting with me back and forth, telling each other to "shut up!"
