Anybody feel like their body is falling apart when psychotic. Like you’re thyroid is shutting down or you have a pain in your stomach and think you have liver cancer?
It really wears everything down as the brain goes into overload. Stomach turns, nerves go into overdrive. It’s wears everything right down.

I feel like a bag of bones. Got aches and pains in places that in could get a man banned for life on this site.
I never thought I had a disease but, for 5 months, I thought I was pregnant. My stomach even got bigger. One day, suddenly, I knew I wasn’t pregnant anymore.

It’s amazing how powerful the mind is. I’m sure if I were a girl I may have had that one too. I’ve thought I had AIDS, cancer, been poisoned by the Russians.
I thought the barista at Starbucks put some kind of heavy metal in my pumkin spice latte last October.
Everu day I remember a new one.
I think I was down at the emergency room 3 times a week getting some kind of test done on me. The sad thing is, I never met with a crisis worker. I must have appeared normal because they charged me every time. Either that or they knew and needed the money. I think I spent Christmas night in the ER actually. Thought I had a heart problem.
What if you believe you have a thyroid problem, and no one takes you seriously, then one day something changes and they test you for it and what do you know, it’s true.
Then you think you have cancer, get tested, and no one will talk to you. Then you lose your medical insurance, and suddenly your med records are cleaned up for someone’s approval?
My first huge delusion was that I had caught HIV. That went on for years.
