Can psychosis ever be good?

I feel like my psychosis is very magical and positive. Have you ever felt like so? Although I felt more fearful and paranoid, I was indeed more energetic and happy.

I don’t know if they were psychotic, but Poe and Coleridge wrote some dynamite stuff when they were under the influence of opium. Their opium withdrawals sounded really creepy, though. Poe wrote about living a hundred years in a single night, and getting long, wet kisses from alligators.

It hasn’t been for me or 99.9% of the other people I know who have schizophrenia.

No. It could maybe feel right or good but thats a false perception of the fact that mentally youre actually lost of insight therefore have only your feelings to go by

I do prefer psychosis to the negative symptoms, and that is why I only take 50 mg Seroquel. Actually my psychosis is some kind of mania at this moment, so a lot of the time Im convinced that I’m a pretty awesome person. You know like interesting and important.
My negative symptoms did suck and I don’t want to be medicated.

@anon55055794 I do hope you see the light soon…at this dose of 50 mg is what you say is enough…most take like 600 to 800 mg seroquel…you are destined to be admitted to a ward again…I hope paranoia doesn’t take over and we lose you.

@jukebox That is because the guy I live with drives me insane. He is still upset that I no longer want him and always sleep with other men. But he has been a dominating piece of â– â– â– â–  for years now. But luckily I will move into a group home and no man will ever take control of me again
