Did you do or say any funny things when you were psychotic?

When I first lost insight, I was still working in a food store at the till point mainly. In hindsight I found it funny when I chucked a customers grocery on the til table instead of placing it there.
I did it because I started to feel like this friendly spirit was jumping into customers, taking over their bodies
So I believed the customer wasn’t really in that body at that moment, or in other words, being influenced by the spirit.

I’m surprised that nobody called in to make a serious complaint to me!

Another time the voice was testing my ability to be not self conscious so I was asked by it to walk around the shops with my top half way up my belly, and bloating it out as much as I could.

I’d give the finger to ceiling lights as I thought they contained hidden cameras.

I sat outside waiting for an invisible car to pick me up and drive me off.

“Pass the crack pipe.” I still chuckle when I think of that one.

I quoted a monologue from the novel “Dune” for reasons that made perfect sense to me at the time, but not to anybody else.

I used to pack a bag and wait by the door for the cops to come and get me

When I was hospitalized I asked someone else in the ward if a marker stain on a painting meant something because I was sure it did. He was kind of in the same state as me so he said he thought maybe it did too.

I inadvertently convinced someone of my delusion, unless he was just playing along, which I hope was the case. :stuck_out_tongue:

I said a lot of very unfunny things while I was psychotic. I still cringe when I think of them. I was lucky I didn’t get my ass seriously whipped.

When I was hospitalized some huge guy who was a new patient got in my face and dumped a little Kool-Aid on my head. I backed down, the guy was big. But weeks or a month later he started being kind of friendly to me and joking around. He had a pick-up truck parked right outside the hospital and him and a couple other guys from the hospital were going out to party or something somewhere and he invited me to go. I asked him if he was going to kill me and he walked away and never talked to me again, lol.

Funny enough, almost thirty years later I was living by myself in a studio apartment in this apartment complex that rented to seniors and disabled people and this same guy moved into the complex. A friend of mine there made friends with the guy and for some reason the incident in the hospital came up. The guy told my friend that he had threatened me because voices were telling him that I was going to hurt him.

Some might been funny in hindsight but most stuff that comes out my mouth when I’m psychotic is just regretable.

That must have been the night I was admitted a few days ago. I turned to my friend and said “do you know if there’s any chance the tap water comes from the toilet?”
He was shook.

Later when he was cooking, I came into the kitchen with a worried face and went “you’re not gonna put any pills in the food, are you?”

I know it sounds silly, but I was genuinely worried.

I also gave the finger to a camera, my voices at the time were enraged. They were watching me on camera. He has to rationalize it Noel, he’s gonna end up rationalizing himself out of it John.voices got a bit quieter. Staring at oranges to set mind free. It wasn’t real yay!

Once you rationalize it you won’t be able to handle it.

Ignore that last bit, I just remembered a portion of what the voices were saying to me to make it sound real, I just wrote it here to remember it.

My voice told me to repeatedly keep telling them police and nurses that I am working for the restoration of the providence of salvation…very weird I must have appeared to them

I was also set some tasks in the hospital by the voice one of them being to hug the police man that was keeping guard of me, for as long as I could so when he brought me to the toilet I just got close to him, and hugged him hahahah

I yelled;

G-d is coming!!

At the park; as a nearby train was approaching the station. This was during the peak of my psychotic break.

Let’s just say I haven’t been to that park in years.
