I don’t miss being suicidal and depressed. And I don’t miss being irritably manic. But, sometimes I miss being paranoid, delusional and hallucinating. Is that crazy or what? It was unique to be part of a psychotic world. I felt special because I was so different. I know that when I was depressed I liked the feeling of my mood spiraling downward. Don’t ask me why. Maybe it was the familiarity of it. I never liked being manic. I was always angry and irritable. That was never fun. When I was in the midst of psychosis, it was pure terror and torture. But, now that I’m clear of it, I miss it. Call me weird.
maybe because it just becomes a part of our identity…

I miss the ■■■■ outta it. The paranoia not so much but the manic hypersexuality yeah!
Sometimes I miss it too.
Obsessing is fun, to a certain extent.
Its like your mind is totally occupied and you feel useful even though there is not real forward motion.

Part of me does. Psychosis can be exciting. But as it nearly killed me I don’t want to be psychotic again really !

my psychosis was a nightmare, especially the fear… the paranoia caused a lot of fear and humiliation… I was mortified.
After coming back to reality… I feel such a relief… the weight of the world is lifted off my shoulders.

Well I guess people experience feelings of euphoria during psychosis. For me, when my thoughts were broadcast through the media, it can make you feel special I guess.
