Yeah me too. I might’ve experienced it once but I don’t know. Whatever happened to me was grief-induced and I was extremely paranoid, s**c*dal, and delusional for a full year. I fully believed I was the only thing to exist and the universe and everything in it was a cruel simulation by God to kill me. It was terrifying. At the time I thought it was BPD because I matched all the symptoms, but it eventually went away. Idk if it was psychosis or not but I don’t think it was too far off

I’m so so so so at risk but never actually went into psychosis. I’ve been close. I’m sure if I stopped taking my antipsychotic I would. But it scares tf out of me, I always wanted you try shrooms but knowing me it will send me into a psychotic episode. I’m lucky it has never happened with weed

Whenever I start to slip I always have delusions about parasites entering my body……certainly no recent events will make that worse! Haha!

I have bipolar i and I’ve had intermittent psychosis symptoms during mania and it is always scary and terrible. I also take kind of a lot of psychedelics and it feels super different and I’ve never really had any negative experiences from them. They make me feel so calm and centered even when I’m fully tripping. Is that weird?

I was using edibles everyday to cope with insane depression and self esteem issues and I was 100% in psychosis because of it. I had scabs all over my face from picking and looked Gaunt from losing weight waaaaay to fast it was a mess 🫡

Mine was a thought loop. I’d heard of the concept before since I’ve done psychedelics, but it never happened to me and always seemed silly. I always thought “just think of something different”. My psychosis wasn’t psychedelic induced but I got stuck in a thought loop for hours during a mental breakdown and it was horrific. Warranted my first and only trip to the psych ward 😀

Like during that period I completely lost a sense of who I was. I had no idea what my own interests were. I also didn’t trust anyone because I thought every person in the world was programmed to try to kill me. I would also go from being euphoric to s**c*dal and back again in seconds. And my brain would come up with conversations that didn’t happen and I fully believed they were real. Then after a year one day it just went away. I still think it was something more than just brief.
