I was in extasy, sure of being God and king of the world eventhough I wasnt. I was living in my dreams.
Is it the dopamine? Pretty sure having no negative symptoms feels as good as psychosis. Ppl with no negative symptoms are so lucky.

Psychosis always ends badly. It turns on you pretty quick.

I don’t remember it feeling particularly good for me. Of course, I had a wide range of psychosis over the years. Some were more terrifying than others. The religious delusions were more comforting than the others I think.

Psychosis is sometimes accompanied by mania. Mania feels really good.

Dr says I never had mania though.

You were motivated enough to move to Germany, for your delusions. That’s not a normal amount of motivation.

I was motivated to walk to the east coast from Iowa to get to Mecca but I don’t think I had mania…just motivation. I got picked up by the police about halfway to the east coast.

Extasy feelings is euphoria. So you did experience euphoria which is an element of mania.

That’s interesting @Aziz

What if you could live in psychosis with no negative consequences ever…

I still think I couldn’t deal with the bad parts…

I have SzA depressive type in my opinion, though the pdoc that diagnosed me SzA didn’t say what type.

I must have said no anhedonia and not extasy.

All these different type of symptoms just lay on a spectrum so psychosis could accompany any number of things whether its sudden depressed feeling , ecstatic feeling ,driven feeling it could be anything.

I think i get what your saying that you experienced euphoria without mania (lack of need for sleep,doing ten million things) in a psychosis. I have experienced that.
