Sharing some of the spiritual thoughts you have while manic - such as messiah complex - will just get you sent to a mental institution.

There was a point where I had NO symptoms of Mania, except for one, for a Messiah complex. I told someone I was jesus and they called the police and took me to the hospital - and I went willingly (thinking it was part of my destiny, which in a way it was, as I learned a lot from being in the hospital).

I had no symptoms OTHER than believing I was the son of God. I could sleep perfectly, I was in a good mood, not irritable, not angry. No racing thoughts. No nothing. ALL I had was the spiritual belief that i was the son of god - and this is a truth that agrees perfectly with the metaphysics of Hinduism...a religion which almost 2 billion people follow.

But I was a fool and signed the paper that waived my rights. And my psychiatrist REFUSED to let me leave the hospital until I denied my claim. It turned out that the state I was in, Massachusetts, has a policy that psychiatrists can keep you in the hospital for ANY reason if you sign the waiver. In most states they can only keep you for three days if your symptoms aren't severe. But I fucked up and signed the paper.

It almost had to go to court - she was going to try to get me comitted for six months (and have me FORCEFULLY take lithium) ONLY because I wouldn't deny a spiritual belief.

But I wisened up. I realized that whatever the spiritual truth was or wasn't - I was playing the "game" wrong. Certain spiritual beliefs, which you tell to others, will give you a shit ton of problems in life. So I told her i was making it all up for attention, that I was being a child, and then she sent me home and told me to go therapy.

Tl:DR - whatever the fuck your crazy spiritual beliefs are, you're probably better off not talking about them, unless you like being in the loony bin
