how to manage bipolar with delusions, connecting with reality?
I have bipolar with mania but I also suffer from delusions. When I'm well managed on meds I can usually logic myself out of them, but even still I struggle with what is real and what is imaginary. It leaves me feeling unsettled in my own life. If I'm actively believing my delusions I'm always waiting for my life to change whereas if I can accept my life as it appears to be in reality I can relax a bit. The trouble is my delusional world is so much grander than the one I live in. Anyone else struggle with this? And how do you maintain your hold on reality?
