Did you mean to say (?)
"When I'm really manic I *think* I can zoom my vision into other realms and levels of being." Or, are you still under the impression that you actually *can* do this.
This is an important distinction. A bipolar patient will typically lose their distorted thought patterns when in a euthemic state. A person with schizophrenia will often maintain certain misperceptions often even when not in the active phase.
The real issue is whether the distorted thought patterns (ie schizophrenia) is the core illness and the mood syptoms are secondary or vice versa.
Schizoaffective is basically schizophrenia with secondary comorbid mood instability.
What are your first accounts of your illness?
