I'm not saying that's what you are of course, everyone has different beliefs and I respect that, So I guess it can depend on some different factors. Is it a belief you've had for a long time in your life that's always been there even when completely stable? Have you had psychosis symptoms while not manic, etc
Can your doctor provide any insight on it? Maybe they would be able to tell whether it's related to delusional thinking or not if they know you well

I’m not really sure of my diagnosis. My previous pdoc diagnosed me with schizoeffective disorder but I’m not sure that is what my current diagnosis is. I think it is bp1 with psychotic features. I haven’t had anything other than very mild psychotic symptoms in a very long time but no, this isnt something I would typically believe. That gives me an inclination to mention it to my pdoc but at the same time I feel like just because I’ve never believed it doesn’t mean it’s not true.
