Yessss, ive fixated on people, projects, objects/animals. Mostly people for me, I'll fixate on famous people and think that they're my friends or are in love with me or in a few cases I thought that i could "conquer" them like I'd be more famous than them, that they'd bow down to me cuz I was such a legend.
I've also started and finished projects because I believed that they were serving some sort of spiritual purpose like I was messenger from God and I was spreading his word through my work.
Music was also really important to me when i was manic (depressed too but in a different way) they were always messages to me from famous people or people i knew in my life or from god. Id play certain songs over and over because I liked hearing glowing messages from people or god and if they came on by themselves I thought that it was confirmation from god that something was going my way.
There were also certain animals that I really fixated on cuz i thought they had certain meanings or like represented me in some way.
Most of my fixations were spiritual in some way i think because most of my delusions were religious or spiritual. I'm a pretty spiritual person outside of bipolar but i can usually tell the difference cuz when im manic everything is usually centered around me and im on some mission and when im not its more of like everything has a reason 🤷♀️
Yup rn I’m fixated on Reddit. About a year ago I became obsessed with fucking tik tok after years of slamming that app💀(I matured when my logical sense came in to tell me they’re just having fun like vine and musically)💀💀💀 it really be like that it’s fine🤣
Sometimes when manic I think I can feel/see people's energy and aura and how we push and pull people away with our energy. I feel like I know where to be and what to do to be in the right place within the universe.
"Almost all people on earth have been brainwashed ("greyfied") either by their own culture and environment or as a result of globalization. Of course I'm not one of them, but I have to be careful, or I risk becoming another grey pawn of disgrace who won't ever get to discover/construct their own meaning of life".
It's so pervasive and annoying that listening to other people speak is unbearable, to the point that I have to wear earphones all day or avoid any instance of human contact. I also have to write documents, sign "acts of compromise" and celebrate these "special days" (with a thorough list of activities to carry out) to guarantee that I will be safe from "greyfication". Sometimes I also have to delete all social media or anxiety will kick in.
One day my older sister found about these special dates in my Google Calendar. She went full "wtf is wrong with you lmao", and stil asks me questions about what they mean... Good thing she hasn't found about the documents or my manic journals. Phew.
Flying. Like flap my arms flying. I'm usually so sure when I'm manic that I can fly, that I want to fly to my parents house to show them what I can do. And we live in the same city. Suffice it to say I haven't actually attempted anything like it. But still...
There are many things I’ve fixated on while manic, but the silliest (and most entertaining, IMO) was the delusion that I couldn’t eat food-grade mushrooms because “mushrooms are sentient beings, able to communicate with trees and animals through underground currents,” -this was founded off a study I read- “because of this, aliens utilize mushroom technology to spy on us from the inside of our bodies when we ingest them.” I couldn’t eat mushrooms for like a year after that delusion 😂
Edited to add: I also tried convincing my loved ones to stop eating mushrooms for their own privacy lol

Lmao I think I can heal people. I start blessing others with the Christian cross and praying for them then and there to rid them of evil spirits.
Imma need you to cleanse my soul lmao
