Rant about bipolar delusions - get me off this planet.

So, I'm looking up info about bipolar and mania and delusions.

And I ask myself: How do I know if I'm having delusions?

Because clearly, if I'm deluded, I'm not going to KNOW I'm deluded, because I'm deluded, right?

"The key feature of a delusion is the degree to which the person is convinced that the belief is true. A person with a delusion will hold firmly to the belief regardless of evidence to the contrary."

So, for example... an emphatic belief in God might qualify here.

Given there's no evidence of God's existence, (if the burden of proof resides, as it should, on he who makes the assertion), those who hold the belief in God -without evidence- are therefore deluded.

But when I claim that I'm a god (or at least the closest actual existing thing to it), as is everyone else and they don't know it, I'M THE DELUDED ONE?!

Now, I don't disagree with my bipolar 1 diagnosis at all. I do, however, think everyone else is at least a fair bit crazier than they think they are too. 😕

It sh!ts me.
