Delusions of grandeur are a part of mania or hypomania which is part of being bipolar. I get this when I go into mania. How is your sleep? Getting a good night's sleep will help break the mania. My PDoc gave me some very strong sleeping pills that I take when I am in mania.

How is everything else?

What are you other symptoms?

when you say bpd do you mean "borderline personality disorder" (BPD) or Bipolar Disorder (BD). I see you are a member of personality disorders and schizophrenia, what have you actually been diagnosed with?

As kisses asked, what are your other symptoms.

Alternatively that can be pretty normal for a 19 yo male. That'll soon change.

I like what fish said not all behaviors and “symptoms ” we exhibit are due to our diagnoses. I can feel anger and lash out for a perfectly legitimate reason and it may have nothing to do with my illness.

all signs of mania. Do you have a psychiatrist and are you taking medications? I would advise you to see your psychiatrist

ok, you've not answered my questions, I still don't know what your diagnosis is.

So I can't answer "is this normal?" because normal for one disorder won't be normal for another.

I think the only advice would be to see a psychiatrist and explain it fully to them.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
