I'm glad your son is trying to explain things to you. It's very hard to express what's going on when you're psychotic.

For example, yesterday morning I imagined a whole text conversation on my phone between me and my landlady, which culminated in her telling me to move out. About half an hour later I was feeling much less blurry and upset, and started to wonder if the conversation had actually happened. So I checked my phone, and no texts had come in from my landlady. So the whole conversation never happened, and yet I remember it... at the same time as being aware it didn't happen.

I was quite upset, it was the most vivid hallucination I've had in a while. I'm just glad that I didn't phone my landlady up and start yelling at her... in the past I've got in fights with people because I thought they'd done something to wrong me, but nothing had actually happened. At least now if something's "blurry" I hold myself back from making snap decisions. But if I wasn't on my meds I don't know what would happen.
