When I'm well, my interest is peaked with the subject of psychosis because I want to understand it.

When I'm unwell, I live in a state of misunderstood semi-psychosis. I'm not completely convinced that what I experience are things that don't really exist.

Paranoia, shadow people out of the corners of my eyes, no appetite, no need for sleep, heightened smell, taste & ESPECIALLY hearing.....

All the while knowing it's really not true, but desperately trying to get my head to agree with the adrenaline rushing in my body.

Humiliation. As someone who was arrested for running in the streets naked and court ordered to take medication I think of being psychotic as a way to really embarrass myself. Also I know I am capable of anything harming myself or others.
