My manic episode became kind of so bad, that I started to look at every mirror acting like I am the coolest king in the world. Is this delusion of grandeur? I am self-aware that it is pathological. I was in the store when that happened.
Did you let your Dr know about your current symptoms?

Not yet, I developed that new behavior just yesterday. I am very manic and feel deranged, and act narcissistic.

Better let the Dr know asap so he can adjust your meds to feel better.

Not a healthy one, it is inflated.
I had grandiosity off meds. I thought I had God’s genes and that I was the only one. Also that I can do miracles, know the future, etc Turns out I just have sz and that there is many other szincs thinking they’re God, thinking oneself is God is common in sz.

I do take medications like I am supposed to, but it takes time for me to cool off.

Maybe a med adjustment can help you if your symptoms are really bothering you. I had to try 5 meds before landing on a good one and soon I will be trying a 6th, Vraylar, to see if it helps negatives.

That makes sense. I just feel ashamed, because what I did is inappropriate to do in the store, but I can’t help it, I am tired of pretending to be normal.

I thought I was the king of hell yesterday so yeah I get it. I mean do reality checks and just know that the world goes on without you I guess. I don’t know I’m working on it myself to be honest.

That does make sense.
I imagined myself as having a crown as if I am a king and acting cool and acting to my other self, as if me’s are from the other world, and I looked at every mirror and waved to my other self. I hope that the security guards does not think I am insane, I am just having serious mental health crisis related to Bipolar Disorder, and I heard in the store employees talking about me how I secretly show symptoms of Bipolar Disorder and they talked how I just need to take some rest.
I definitely had a problem with mirrors since as early as a child. Even before psychosis. People knew about this and kindly mocked me, telling me that I marvel at my own reflection in a mirror like a girl would.
In reality, I could never recognize myself in the mirror. I could never accept that this is my reflection and not some stranger’s that just happens to copy my movements.
This early form of a delusion did feed my much more critical and terrible delusions during psychosis many years later.
Honestly I think there is no combating a symptom like this, considering nothing came even close to helping myself with a similar issue that I described here.

You sill had a psychotic episode though before you started to have severe psychotic episode. You have what it is called Mirrored-self misidentification and me acting as if I am a cool king and I think I had something similar to a milder degree as well two days ago until I lost energy to do almost anything after having severe mania for a week.
