I mean, I suppose it’s real subjectively, but not objectively. but I have experienced some cross-over, to where I can prove that very strange phenomena has been, indeed, ‘real’ on an objective level.

has anyone experienced very strange phenomena that they can prove actually happened, for instance, from accounts of other people? I have.
I can support some of my thought patterns with scientific evidence.
So in a sense my psychosis is very real… At least to me
Same…some events in my life there seems to be a very blurred line…

Honestly, I don’t know what’s real anymore.

I think that most people were walking around on a tightrope in their minds all day and night.
That’s why so many people snap and commit crimes.
I am very similar to how I was before my psychosis but the the experience of psychosis has turned me into a different person.

I have vandals playing on the fact I have Schizophrenia, they have driven me to the verge of insanity at times and ruined my life, bad enough you have to live with this illness let alone people playing on it
Psychosis is real and uncontrollable. You just follow whatever comes up in your mind.

I did experience things that I can’t explain. They concerned predicting the future in various ways. But I don’t spend my time thinking about them now that I’m (almost) well. It’s not worth it. Life goes on in the real world whether I entertain those ideas or not, and if I don’t, then I’m better able to focus on what is 100% sure to be real.

Yes, psychosis is very real. It is chemicals in your brain going haywire. It is very disturbing and can be very painful. Having said that; ‘my’ psychosis is caused by people controlling my brain and ‘simulating’ psychosis, which they have done extremely well. I have had bizarre things happen (talking in someone else’s voice, for one) but no one to confirm it (of course…). At the end of the day, I am left ‘crazy’ which is right where they want me. They also make me extremely paranoid and anxious which is very painful. Maybe more painful than they realize. I take my meds primarily to squelch the painful paranoia. I wouldn’t wish paranoia on anyone. It’s horrible.

very well said. I agree
Yes, I find that a lot of my delusions have a small amount of reality in them. And I can hear other peoples delusions and say the same thing.

No it’s not real it’s all in your mind!
I’ve had very bizarre things that seemed to fall into my delusions very well. I can prove them by other witnesses. However in there mind they just brush them off as strange or quincodenc . In my delusional mind they seem set up by a higher power. When I get better sometimes I notice those strange things, because I know they would mess with me while phsycotic. However I brush them off as strange or quincodental. They don’t bother me when I’m well. It definitely seems more of those things happen when ill , although I think we just spot more of them because we’re more aware. It’s kind of strange as though we are being attacked when volnerable. Glad it goes away with meds.
I believe that hallucinations and delusions come from the same place that dreaming comes from. They can have manifest or latent content, but either way the brain (more specifically a mutated gene(s) in the brain)) is trying to understand a traumatic event.

Some times even when well I tend to bring my dream world into the next day. I kind of stop myself and have to say that was only a dream. When I’m phsycotic it’s a real issue as I sometimes see my dreams as something that really happened the day before or in the past.
