Have you ever had a mystical psychosis?

[gloopy]

For me psychosis always has beautiful, transcendental, trippy, mystical qualities. Anyone else?

[shutterbug]

Mine is like being stuck in a badly written, yet still terrifying X-Files episode. Nothing spiritual or enjoyable about it. Good riddance.

Confusion. Stress. It was nothing pleasant for sure. There’s nothing redeemable about psychosis and it’s pretty much brain damage.

Yeah starts out magical and ends up haywire.

You would think it would be fun tripping for months but its not lol

When u lack insight it gets pretty extreme.

I’ve had a lot of moments in psychosis where I was completely awestruck.

Ultimately, I’m glad to have had the experience, regardless of what it means for me in terms of societal fitness.

I usually had mystical psychosis, sometimes they were really wonderful and sometimes they were very dark. The further I went down the rabbit hole (over a year or so), the more often they were dark and I started getting depressed and anxious. Everything seemed so significant.

[Om_Sadasiva]

Yes.
I have spiritual voices and visions.

I had a mystical dyslexic psychosis and thought I was dog.

[Ozzyskits]

Definitely. Whenever it isnt scary as hell, it can be super exhilirating and magical.

Mine are more like a horror-movie now. But before, when in psychosis I would have mystical moments too. I wouldn’t even want to call them psychosis. It was beautiful, euphoric, spiritual. Everything felt alive and connected. I’ve had such feelings even before being psychotic actually. Ever since using haldol I don’t have them anymore. I hate my psych for that.

All of my psychosises were mystical and very frightening.

[Kxev]

That must be nice.

I believed I was Jesus messenger to bring Him back to earth. it was terrifying…I believed I was a laser on a dvd player in a computer on a space ship to stay there for 2,000 years…I will never stop my meds…don’t ever want to relive that…my pdoc once told me if you stop your meds, you will take off exactly where you left off in your delusions…so sad…never never I don’t wanna go back…

[Hadeda]

I have two spirits in my head and I miss the good one Sarah so much since getting better, she used to send me messages in songs but it’s gone all quiet

[anon84628834]

I described my as a mixture between x-files, twin peaks and horror movies. Very bad. But mystical? no not anything like a fantasy, more like an extremely long bad trip that didn’t end for almost 8 to 12 months.

Only once. It ebbed and flowed in intensity for several months (I have a BP1 dx not SZ or SZa). I thought I was a prophet after I saw God in my bathroom. I had the gift of being able to talk to and connect with trees. Even the fake powers I thought I had weren’t really that powerful but I felt I was second in command to God or something. I felt connected and everything was a clue and had a special/hidden or double meaning like some puzzle I was figuring out. It ended badly when I thought I was a fraud, thought I was the antichrist and had an out-of-body experience seeing my 7-year-old self eat my current self alive. Anything before or after wasn’t nearly as fun. It has been horrible and more disorganized than anything and not fun at all.
