i find it difficult to distinguish hypomania from grandeur. either they are similar or they happen simultaneously. In both situations I have inspiration, creativity & my body is filled with rapture & glory. All world worships my feet or I am renowned & famous & powerful & omniscient & omnipotent etc.
have you ever had delusions of grandeur?

only someone who has both can help me.
There was a point in my life when I was diagnosed hypomanic in the context of a bipolar disorder…
Sometime after that, I was diagnosed with psychosis-not otherwise specified and schizophrenia, with symptoms of ‘delusions of grandeur’.
I’m not sure if I fit your needs but how may I be of help to you?
I think they are similar or they happen simultaneously…

Care to elaborate?
either they happen simultaneously or they are similar. when hypomanic I am full of energy, creativity, inspiration. when in grandeur I have all the glory of the world, i am renowned, I am the best, omniscient, omnipotent.
I’m not hypo manic or manic. (My pdoc says so). But, I have what you might call grandiose delusions of reference. I believe that my Higher Power speaks to me intimately and personally every day.
it talks to you but do you feel you have special powers or gifts etc?

No, I don’t feel I have any special powers or gifts. Why?
because in grandeur one is omnipotent & with special gifts & super human powers

Maybe you are in your own way
My pdoc says that I am euthymic right now. Which means: normal mood.
euthymic is a Greek word meaning good (eu) mood (thymic). I thought that in psychiatry it means more than just good.
