I believe in demons, angels, ghosts, psychic energy, all that stuff. I believe it's both real and there are also frauds out there who take advantage. But, it isn't just a fake thing or imaginary. It's just not like people expect it to be.

But, Newtus, I think it's possibble you were able to see the darkness of her illness and it wasn't a hallucination. I mean, that whole religious or spiritual thing is really iffy with psychologists. Because, sure, there are times when I think things like that are hallucinations or delusions. but again, I fully believe that there are times when it is not. AND, I believe that people with psychosis are conntected to things in a way that people without are not, and can't understand. Remember, at one time you would have been the healer, seer, shaman, or whatever... that's just how it is. Even my MIL's ex-husband who is this super down to earth guy says people with bipolar have a connection beyond what most people understand, and see things others don't. The issue is that everyone downplays the positive things about us and gives us the "sick person" card....

So... anyway, I'm sort of rambling but really, don't expect your psychologist to get it. Even if you ahve psychosis I think you can still be psychic....
