Sarah Troy, please do not lock this thread. I have brought this up a couple of years ago and a lot of people said that they have became hyperreligious while manic. It happened to me in 2007 for 10 months off of medication. I was running missions for God. Does anyone else experience this? There are a lot of new members so I thought this topic should be brought up.

Good topic Volante, i too have become hyperreligious when manic in my first breakdown it was very severe i had a psychis i thought i was God's messenger who was chosen to fight evil my brother was the son of satan i was going to kill him (got admitted involuntarily), i thought the colors blue and white were holy and red was evil so i distinguished people with these colors, i thought the end of the world was upon us evil presence was everywhere, TV & radio was talking to me i heard voices... but 'God' was with me i felt safe and strong some of this was soothing and gave me peace some of it was hell like the evil stuff i experienced. After this 9wk hospitalization I pulled away from God i had very little faith for about 2 yrs the I found God again but in a real healthy way, to this day i truly believe God has pulled me out of some really rough times.

When I had a med change in Jan.11 i was borderline manic i got very spiritual (i'm already a christian and do have a lot of faith) more than usual, i saw 'signs' everywhere like God was communcating with me by giving me signals eg. a cardinal bird would land i thought that was God workign thru this cardinal to give me peace, or i would see the number 3 everwhere i went (the trinity number) again feeling like God was communicating with me 3 is my fav number, i prayed more, this experience was mild tho and was a pleasent experience but i did get more hyperreligious but did pull me through this rough time.
