This is one of the songs I could relate to… (especially) back then…

There are two albums by Nonpoint, “Statement” and “Development” that always make me think of mania. I was really into those two albums when I first started becoming severely manic and cycling rapidly. The album “By the Way,” by Red Hot Chili Peppers, always makes me think of the depression I endured following my first psychotic break, as I was listening to it a lot at that time to try to cheer myself up.

After a few months of psychosis I felt like a God… (I thought I always was a God but only then was aware of it 
) but due to the paranoia I felt like every bad thing happened in the World since my birth (1989) and even before my birth (because I was believing in reincarnation at the time) was somehow, my fault… and couldn’t deal with the guilt. I remember crying with “crocodile tears” every day (after few months of psychosis) because of it. All my delusions felt so real… 
After I realized how much bad “I” did to the world since it’s existence, I tried to compensate “my” mistakes with only good actions… Doing kind actions (or what I… considered kind actions at the time), mostly in my mind, did made me feel much better/more optimistic/energetic and I was hyperactive (skipping sleep/nights while wandering the streets/city) doing “the greater good” for humanity… It felt like sacrificing myself (my health and time)
Then, after starting to take the meds/treatment I felt like… sh*t! 
I felt like my memories and emotions were dying/dead… Felt dead inside / hopeless… until the psychosis ended completeley and until I stopped the treatment… it’s been 9 years since then. Never been through psychosis again.
I slip into a dream world. So I guess this one

This song pulls me back last time I completely lost my brain,
It was a very, very dark time and I hate that its ruined such a great song for me.
Sadly this Rush classic was not spared either…

This one. I made the mistake of listening to it on my way to work last week (three times in a row), and I couldn’t hold it together at work. I broke down in front of one of my coworkers and had to go home.

I like master of puppets
That song gave me chills, reminding me of the times Elliot (The primary voice in my head) would torment me.

I relate very much to this song. I shouldn’t have listened to it on my way to work.
I hope it doesn’t cause you distress, @Cipher.

It is pretty relatable material, I’m sorry it triggered you though.
Thank you for your concern! I’m doing fine for now.

Before I put myself in the hospital for my fear that I’d actually hurt myself or others due to distress of voices and paranoia, I listened to this song and it’s still one of my favorites.

Last time I was hospitalised I had a Alannah Moririset song playing in my head over and over for weeks.
That song about the cross eyed bear that you gave to me … you outa know… every time I scratch my nails down someone’ else’s back I hope you feel it…
Oh can you feel it…
It was hateful to me and possibly a spiritual attack of some kind.
Good song but did not feel good.
I did not want to hear it o we and over in nasty ways.
