… For why you got the szc you got?
I had no close friends so this voice just popped up as my very very close friend. Coincidental? I don’t know.
Also, drugs, alcohol, inheritance.

What happened in your drug experience

I think God talks to me because he takes pity on me as a person whom nobody loves or wants to hang around with. I have not a single friend except for Him.
I got sza because my dad had it and his mother before him had it. I was also severely mentally, physically and sexually abused as a child. Also, my mother almost died of toxemia when she was pregnant with me. Also, I smoked a lot of pot starting at the age of 17.

Mental illness in general but yeah my cousin who is gonna be my favorite person to talk to maybe at my sisters wedding is sza. And he’s on abilify and Zoloft just like me. And on my other side (my dads side) my cousin was badly sZ and died young from complications with smoking/diabetes and stuff. She was very delusional even on clozaril. Then we got some bi polars and anxiety and depression and alcoholics and heroine addicts

I experimented with a hallucinogen during a college frat party and experienced a very bad trip.
It triggered my psychosis.

It’s strange I took mdma with alcohol once but didn’t experience psychosis til about 3 months later starting with delusions. I wonder whether they were connected somewhat.
I’m sorry to hear about your experience with the bad trip Wave.
Yeah sounds like there could be a connection @anon90843118.
Thanks

Genetics mostly is my guess. And drugs prob sped it up. Then religious ideas exasperated it.
Like I have friends who did tons of drugs and there very normal.

My therapist believes that trauma precipitated my sza
