It was part of a global conspiracy to take over the world. At first I knew it was fanciful and not real but eventually I started to believe the conspiracy more and more as I found 'signs' it was true.
If that were to happen again i would start to take prn Zyprexa (an antipsychotic) to add to the daily AP, Rexulti until I felt better.
I tend to think of psychotic mania as being it's own thing. Anyway I would take these symptoms seriously although not over stress about it. Are you on an antipsychotic?
There are some devout people who experience talking with God but are not having symptoms of psychosis.

Thanks. This really helps. I'm not on antipsychotic yet. My pdoc wants to get me on the "right" dosage of Lamictal before adding either that or an antidepressant.
I'm religious as well. However, these messages are ones God would never give. Like the latest one that told me to kill myself.
You have provided some clarity and progression makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
