just before an episode (small or big) i feel confused, in dream-like state, voices in my mind get louder, everything is strange etc.
how do you feel the beginning of an episode? can you sense an episode coming?

I can feel when I’m becoming psychotic. And then I quickly lose insight. I’ve been ok for 3 years now though. No episodes.
I can feel it coming, racing thoughts go into high gear
the other day I managed to prevent one. maybe it wasn’t that powerful. I was about to go to hospital. but meds worked…
I get physically tired. Symptoms come on then when I am most vulnerable.
I guess for me I could see one coming on when I begin to stress or panic.
Oh yes!
I hear almost like a radio static start to drown out all the voices (which sounds like a good thing, even I was fooled the first time), I refuse to shower, and I get really, really mean.
Despite knowing these are the signs, I ignore them and allow it to get worse. Also, I get downright abusive if anyone tries to tell me I’m acting strangely or they can tell I’m having a problem.
It’s like transforming into the HULK. Accept instead of possibly doing good, I just get medical bills. But you know, involves a lot of green either way. Ha Ha, I’m hilarious.
I can feel when I am getting psychotic. Used to get that way everyday when I just took Geodon.
Adding Latuda has taken the edge off. If I try to stay up late I feel it so I always go to bed early.
I start being unable to sleep even with sleeping pills. Then I can’t concentrate very well except on the people that are beginning to plot against me.
Sometimes I can and then can take action to try to do something about it, maybe even prevent it. Sometimes however things happen too quickly and it’s too late.
Yes I can feel it coming on , weird sensations and total avoidance of people I know . Can’t bear seeing people . Reality shifts and I get really busy inside my head .
