Hi All,
When you’re in psychosis do you feel like you’re in control? Or do you feel like something/someone else is in control?
Thanks.
No, I have no control while psychotic, probably God is controlling me.
No I don’t feel like I’m in control. When my voices or inserted thoughts come, they come. I can’t induce them or stop them from coming. They do as they will.
I can’t prevent delusions or paranoia either.
Supposedly, I’m psychotic right now. I feel completely out of control of my life and circumstances
99% of the time except when posting my fears and paranoia. Other than that im good…

Never really thought about it that way before. But thinking back many years ago when I was at my most psychotic, I did learn very well to control my symptoms.
My life was hell and I had nothing but I just naturally walked around and worked and went out to eat or to a play etc. and I acted, sounded and looked so normal that very few people could tell I was I’ll.
I could go to a movie and be bats*it crazy and sit there gong crazy in my mind and I guess to all outwards appearances I appeared perfectly normal. I had paranoia, delusions, racing mind, weird perceptions etc. No one could tell.
About the only person I told about my delusions was my dad. But like someone else said, I couldn’t stop or “erase” my symptoms, but I could keep my composure despite them. I couldn’t stop the delusions or the paranoia or the racing mind but I hid them like champ.

were your thoughts very disorganized? Like go church find blue cactus ninja ?were they internal and make you mad?0
mine feels like when i come down from meth. Agitated’ jumpy bad thoughts
I feel like the voices (I gave up on their origin and just accept they are there) are in control when I am fully psychotic.
Delusions, weird perceptions. No hallucinations though I could have sworn my boss smiled once. Naw, I must have been wrong, the chances of that were a million to one.
When it gets really bad I have no control. I have even blacked out for some days and have no memory of it.
I get like that too. Its terrible. .y thoughts are so jumbled right now…
Control over thoughts?
I thought I was in full control during psychosis. From an outside perspective I was completely out of control. Thinking rash thoughts, driving erratically, taking the wires from the lights in my house.
No i do not feel in control at all, i feel helpless and terrified
Not really. But it depends on how bad and it hasn’t happened in a while. It’s more like a panic attack and DP/DR and dissociation. I haven’t had it in a while. I always have delusions so there’s that. I’m pretty in control of everything but I’m just mentally handicapped for life pretty much.
