Does anyone else experience this? I can always tell when I’m right about to have a break because I feel incredibly high and not in a fun way. I don’t know how else to describe it. That time is always around when I’ll start hearing voices and getting paranoid.
No, my psychosis isn’t drug induced. Been like this since I was a kid.
To add to this. Just a few weeks ago, i was hallucinating my phone was being hacked and it was only because i felt elevated after meeting someone new. So it definitely isnt a coincidence for me
Just to chime in again in response to Applekid. I have had morphine and other drugs for medical related reasons. The high that I experience when I’m losing grip is far different than that, far more high feeling.
When I get psychotic I experience a “brightening” of the world. Edges are sharper, colors incredibly more vivid, and it feels like the whole world becomes really vibrant. My mind feels extra perception everywhere.
There have been a couple of times when I was on the verge of a break, and I was experiencing a happy high. It felt good. Those feelings are a danger signal to me now.
During psychosis the world looks like a playground. Before that I feel like no one can stop me from not letting me believe in my delusions. That drives me to do erratic things like overspending and engaging in risky activities and be completely irrational.
