Is it meds overdosed ?

Today I was having a tea :coffee:

I started a random conversation with a guy.

:thinking: maybe ssri or some kind of uplifting med, not sure

Without meds I would talk to someone who isn’t there

Nope. Never. I avoid talking to almost everyone in person as much as possible. Strangers who speak to me are given some pretty obvious hints to never do that again.

Its my mood for me. Sometimes I am in a talkative mood with strangers. Mostly sports and family things.

Rarely, I’m talkative with strangers. Most of the time I’m silent.

People I don’t know speaking to me makes me crazy.

It is pretty much required in Scotland that you strike up a conversation at a bus stop. It actually feels way to uncomfortable to stand in silence here

I was more talkative to strangers when I was delusional. After taking meds and recovering quite a bit, I’m back to my old, quiet self lol

Can I ask when you was more talkative with strangers did it sound delusional in you mannerisms? I know for me I can’y tell when I’m delusional?

I’d say yes I sounded delusional to the strangers I talked to.
I did lots of embarrassing things while delusional. Not to mention, I was very very arrogant

Are you saying you don’t have any insight? Or that you don’t seem delusional to strangers you talk to?

Sorry to hear that man. For me, it was finding the right meds. But I didn’t have much insight at first either. Sometimes it takes years to gain insight. And then once you do, recovery seems to always follow

Yeah thankfully most of the people were strangers and not people I have to deal with on a daily basis.

I did lots of stupid things while delusional too.

It all takes time and that was always the hard part for me to understand.

I finally found peace when I learned to open up to loved ones more. I found I was less paranoid and led by delusional thoughts.

I hope you find peace here soon!
