So the consensus is that I was probably depressed, but may or may not have been psychotic? Thanks everyone for your input. The episode I described altered the trajectory of my life. That is why I am trying to figure out what it was. I think I will discuss it with my pdoc. I've already told three therapists about it-one said that psychosis is common in mania? (makes no sense because I was definitely not manic), the next just looked really concerned, and my current therapist told me that it was less severe than psychosis but more concerning than just an overactive imagination, and that it would probably not happen again. After my last episode in Rome (mania with psychosis), she changed her mind and said that it probably was a psychotic episode. I just don't feel like therapists can really diagnose psychosis very well, since it can only really be addressed with medication. Seems to be the kind of determination that only a pdoc could make. So, I'm going to talk to mine. (I'm scared just thinking about it! And my appointment isn't for another month...)

Venus, thanks for your input. The witchcraft spell (pun intended ) is not something that I am too concerned about. I'm more worried about my belief that I had had sex with a demon and had to become God's prophet. The witchcraft thing was just background information, so that you could get insight into how my mind was working before the incident.

Hamster, thanks. I know that he won't think that I'm crazy currently, but I don't want him thinking that I have that potential...As for the seizure disorder and the intersection of neurology and psychiatry- my mom actually has a friend who is an MD, double boarded in both neuro and psych. I suppose I could talk to her...but she is very difficult to get ahold of. She also suffers from severe depression herself. I wouldn't want to bother her, but if my desire for answers becomes too intense and my pdoc can't provide me with them, than I might send her an e-mail.
