i used to have Annette, who was a goddess that was living in my mind, controlling my mind & my thoughts. in my psychosis I wrote a love letter to Annette asking her to marry me and I wrote some religious rants on the internet for her sake praising her god-like qualities & smell & aura etc. Later Isidore & Louisa popped up. they are like machines. they talk to me when i am quiet. they discuss with me or with each other or they insult me. maybe they are the implants in my brain talking. when I have hallucinations i connect them with a delusion-story. now i had them talking and I linked them to the bugs in my brain and i thought they were bugs talking.

But the main thing is you are able to see that it’s not real, it’s a hallucination. We’re you able to before meds?

with Annette no. she was a real goddess, an entity living in my mind. now even when i have hallucinations, I know it’s my mind.

How long since you started meds? Perhaps they need time to kick in or you and your doc needs to find what works

I changed meds and now i am on risperidone for about a month… i feel tempted to quit them and dive into psychosis though. the psychiatrist said that I should stay here in reality and dont get lost in world of imagination.

Psychosis doesn’t have to be unpleasant but if it’s not grounded in reality it is important to be looked into … I think perhaps talk to your dr she or he will tell you next steps cos I think one month Should be a good amount of time for the psychosis to subside

it subsided. I am ok now. recently i had a quasi-psychotic episode that was prevented easily. it wasn’t that powerful. everything became dream-like, I was confused, voices started etc. i could sense that an episode was coming. anyway i took my meds and it subsided
