Inspired by the thread on smell. I personally felt like my eyes changed at some point during the period I now recognize to be psychosis. Anyone else feel similarly?
My pupils dilate like a blooming flower

Yes they were extremely open lol.
Like really enough for people to notice something was wrong.
I remember I was admiring my sister in law cos I was going through psychotic hell but she seemed like a lovely angel at my bday.

Actually, yes. Apparently, my eyes with shake from side to side rapidly, like they are vibrating or something. My eye lids also slowly open wider and wider when this is happening. I have been told this a few times as it makes people think I’m having a seizure. The good thing is that it only happens with specific hallucinations. They are simply (well not so simply but…) when I see a bunch of images going through my vision at a time. During that time, I can’t see anything else and I hear this high pitched metal noise, like when a train is passing. This usually happens when I’m under a lot of stress (positive or negative). Generally, they are images of possibilities in decisions that I have or implications of a new important situation.
If my eyes dilate during that time, people have not noticed. Probably because of everything else.
To cope, I have to close my eyes, put my hands either on my eyes or sometimes brace myself as I can get vertigo during it. It doesn’t usually last all that long in real time but one time it lasted around 5 minutes.

I hyperfocus and pupils dilate when psychotic. I was arrested by cops because of my dilated pupils, they thought I was on drugs and searched all my car. They also made me do physical tests like walking in a certain way and they put a flashlight into my eyes.
They also did a breath test, maybe for alcohol.
Yeah my pupils were huge and my eyes became a darker blue. Thats what my dad said anyway. And I wasn’t on any drugs.
My eyes don’t track right.
They dilated a lot, yes.
1000 mile gaze i believe its called
For some reason, my right eye’s astique went up. Not sure if there is any correlation between the psychosis and the astique.

Yea I looked like I was on one of those stimulating drugs haha
My eyes were a similar expression to the cat in my avatar picture 
I think it’s because the whole ordeal made me ultra alert.

I get those same, wide eyed, staring eyes that I see on other psychotic people. I saw them on my son too.
My pupils get really dilated and I get dark circles from not sleeping well.
Yes, and I look exhausted. I get what feels like electricity around my temples. Also my eyes dart around trying to figure out the light signals I see.
