When I was younger I could go without sleep for days and not feel tired, but I think that’s when my illness started also. Sleep deprivation seems to trigger psychosis in me now. Is that normal? Is that normal for normal people?
I feel awful for delusional things I’ve thought or said after an episode. I don’t know if this is psychosis or mania, or what the difference is…I just know that if I miss one night of sleep I’m a mess. Where-as in the past I could go days and nights without sleep and not crash.
