I feel like when I'm depressed, I feel more stupid in a way where I'm not creative than smarter in another way because I'm realistic and logical (Thinking more about reality - Also because depression makes me feel worthless and stupid anyways). When I'm happy, I feel smart in a way where I'm more creative (More than stupid in my perspective of what I believe other people think because I'm losing touch with reality - Also because being happy is a quasi-delusional state where I have more self esteem so I’d obviously have more faith that I’m smarter).

Then with my thoughts about how other people see me when I'm depressed, I feel like they think that I'm smarter because I talk less and think more realistically and logically than they do but inferior because I'm less creative (Also that people are concerned for me. People see the opposite in themselves which breaks their own delusion because it’s just faith that is holding onto something that isn’t real. You’d need to be manic for it to be real - Which is a full blown delusion). Also that they think that when I'm happy, I'm stupid to people that are egotistical because I'm annoying. That's why people with no empathy (Sociopaths) to feel what another person feels AND can't see the mirror effect (Psychopaths) and put people down to make themselves feel better (And they never get psychosis).

Does this explain why people in mania become psychotic?
