Spiritual experiences
Bipolar, Schizophrenia & Psychosis Support / by looneyto0n

...See more I've recently been diagnosed, as an adult, with bipolar. This chapter of my life began when I was going through a manic episode which, at the time, I considered to be a spiritual experience or awakening. This lasted days and eventually led me to the psychiatric ward where I voluntarily checked myself in and was diagnosed, then placed on antipsychotics. I was making mental connections so quickly during this time and observing things so "clearly" that the only way for me to understand or describe what was happening to me was that God was trying to speak to me. Is there anyone who can relate to mania or psychosis feeling like a spiritual or supernatural experience? Any details about your journey would be helpful and supportive.

...See more I had no idea I was bipolar until I had a manic episode last August which resulted in me being hospitalized. I've never gone through anything like that in my life up to that point and I was severely detached from reality. Being in the psych ward was such a weird experience for me. When I think back about it, I struggle to remember certain details due to my state of mind at the time. I don't talk with friends or family much about my hospital experience, mostly because they can't relate.
